Marking Chalk

Easily Mark Fabrics with Tailor’s Chalk.

Make quick, visible, and easy-to-remove marks with Tailor's Chalk for sewing, tailoring, and more. Chalk is the ideal tool for making quick markings, especially on materials that are difficult to mark, like textured, heavy, or dark-colored fabrics. Dressmakers and tailors commonly use fabric chalk to mark hems because it's so easy to use and remove. Tailor’s Chalk is available in wax, chalk, and clay varieties, which vary slightly in their usage. Marks made using Chalk or Clay Tailor’s Chalk are the easiest to remove and the most temporary—these marks can be easily brushed off of most fabrics or washed out. Wax Chalk lasts longer, as the markings are heat-soluble and will remain until ironed out. Find the perfect sewing chalk for temporary fabric marking here.
