Tailors Chalk & Holder

This little chalk holder makes marking darts and hemlines so much easier—no more fumbling with loose chalk that breaks. The included white and blue pieces are perfect for contrast on different fabrics.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the blue chalk marks stay on denim without smudging, even after a few test fittings. The holder makes it easy to switch between chalk colors on the fly, which is perfect for my alteration projects.

The chalk holder feels sturdy in my hand and grips the chalk tightly, so no annoying slipping mid-mark. I’ve used it on several hems and the white chalk shows up perfectly on dark fabrics, which is exactly what I needed for alterations.
