French Navy Xanelé Longs Pattern Expansion

Buy the Xanelé Longs Pattern Expansion sewing pattern from French Navy. Use this pattern expansion to lengthen your Xanelé Shorts into trousers! The expansion includes two style options: a slightly cropped, straight leg trouser, and a full length, tapered trouser. This is a beginner-friendly project resulting in an easy-to-wear pair of elastic-waist pants that can be styled up or down depending on your mood.

Note: This is not a complete pattern. You must already own the original Xanelé Shorts pattern to use this expansion. If you have not yet purchased the original pattern, you can do so here.
