"Disappearing" tailor's chalk

[trojanrabbit]

Lady Chrystel just uses a plain, normal hand soap bar when it withers out to a slim, chalk like thing.
Goes away with ironing... and leaves a nice smell !

Agree. /me used same thing. And soap have many colours too. ) So for sewing from time to time that's good solution, i think.

I used to carve soapstone as a kid and used little scraps of that to mark fabric. It worked great, leaving a little powder that would rub off after a few swipes. I was careful not to use a piece of soapstaone that had hard impurities in it.
