£3.50 – £10.50

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.
