I\u2019ve been having Marsala on my mind ever since the Pantone color of the year 2015 was announced<\/a>. A tasteful and hearty hue, Marsala isn\u2019t risky. It\u2019s a brown, earthy, rich red like a maroon or burgundy.<\/p>\n

One of Marsala\u2019s greatest qualities is that it\u2019s super wearable, so it translates easily to fashion and therefore sewing. Plus it\u2019s a color that works well in garments for girls, boys, women, and men. Of course if you\u2019d like you could do a complete head to toe look in Marsala, but there are quite a few colors that go well with it. There is an ease in combining it with gray, mustard, light blue, black, beige and navy. I think it would be quite simple to add Marsala to any wardrobe, you can mix it with a lot of what is already in the closet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve gathered some ideas on how to add some Marsala to Oliver + S patterns. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"Marsala<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nRoller Skate Dress<\/a><\/strong>
\nIt might be a little more difficult to find Marsala in a print, but I think a Roller Skate Dress would look lovely in this larger print floral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nPlaytime Tunic and Leggings<\/a><\/strong>
\nYou can add just a touch of Marsala with this sweet cotton voile print of vintage-y flowers<\/a> used for a Playtime Tunic. Pair it with some Playtime Leggings in a royal blue knit<\/a> that matches the tiny blue flowers in the print. Another way to add a little bit of Marsala is with a fabric-covered headband<\/a>, felt bow<\/a>, or hair tie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

School Days Jacket<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis jacket made out of wool melton<\/a> could be for a boy or girl. It is a nice dark color that won\u2019t easily show dirt when it\u2019s worn outside in the fall and winter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Art Museum Trousers<\/a>, Sailboat Top<\/a>, and Secret Agent Trench Coat<\/a><\/strong>
\nHere is a three piece outfit that would work for a boy or girl. It includes a pair of Art Museum Trousers in a cotton twill<\/a>, a Sailboat Top in a navy nautical stripe knit<\/a>, and a Secret Agent Trench Coat in a stone cotton twill<\/a>. It would be simple to interchange each of these items with other items in a wardrobe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forest Path Cape<\/a>, Sunday Brunch A-line Skirt<\/a>, and Lunch Box Tee<\/a><\/strong>
\nHere is a cute ensemble for a girl. It consists of a Forest Path Cape in a wool melton<\/a>, a Sunday Brunch A-line Skirt in a grey diamond quilted knit<\/a>, and a long sleeve Lunch Box Tee in a grey polka dot knit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nature Walk Yoga Pants<\/a> and School Bus T-shirt<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis casual and super comfortable outfit works for a boy or girl. A pair of Nature Walk Yoga Pants in bamboo jersey<\/a> and a long sleeve School Bus T-shirt in cream and grey stripe knit<\/a> is perfect for play time.<\/p>\n
