This beginner-friendly pattern is fondly named after my adventurous friend Xanelé (pronounced Shan-a-lee). These shorts were inspired by, and created for, the 5am Table Mountain hikes that she and I regularly embarked upon (and the much-needed sanity and perspective that these walks, and our talks, afforded me) as we were coming out of South Africa’s first hard lockdown.
The Xanelé shorts are an easy-to-wear summer staple that can be styled up or down depending on your mood or occasion. The pattern features an elasticated waistband with optional belt loops, pleated front and a cuffed hem that ends around the mid-thigh. A versatile addition to your handmade wardrobe, the Xanelé shorts are perfect for the beach and for climbing mountains yet are as equally well suited to days spent working from, or relaxing at, home.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Light to medium weight wovens such as linen / linen blends, hemp, tencel, and chambray. If selecting medium weight fabric it is recommended that the fabric has some measure of drape.
