Chalk marks on fabric and brushes out afterwards — the oldest answer and still one of the best. The size comes to 11 cm. Inside the pack are 2 Weiß, 1 Blau, 1 Rot. The material is wood, chalk powder.
For alterations to finished clothes a line on the fabric shows where to shorten and where to let out. Markings stay visible as long as they are needed and then go with water, an iron or a brush. Before the first stroke, test on a hidden spot: every fabric takes markings differently.

Frequently asked questions
Does the marking come off again?
Depending on the type with water, with heat or by brushing out. The pack says which applies; a test on a hidden spot shows it within a minute on your own fabric.
What works on dark fabrics?
A light marking — white chalk or a pen with a pale lead. On dark cloth any dark line disappears as soon as the fabric folds.
May I iron over a marking?
Better not while it is still needed: heat can fix some lines and erase others at once. Sew first, press afterwards is the safe order.
How should pens be stored?
Lying flat, capped and out of the sun. Pens left open dry out, and a dried tip draws streaks instead of lines. A pen that no longer draws can sometimes be revived on paper.
