I\u2019m excited to be launching a new series of very short video tutorials because these will let me talk directly to you about the little tips and tricks I use when I sew.<\/p>\n<p>All of these videos are around a minute long, so they\u2019re quick to watch. And the tips are simple but (I hope) useful. Maybe you already know and use some of them; maybe some will be new to you. Either way, I hope you\u2019ll enjoy them.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll present a new quick sewing tip video each Wednesday for the next couple months. If you find them helpful, useful, or interesting please leave a comment to let me know. If there&#8217;s interest in these, we will continue producing them for you.<\/p>\n<p>We kick the series off today with a short and quick tip about tailor&#8217;s chalk. I love tailor\u2019s chalk for marking my fabric, especially for transferring markings from the pattern pieces. Here\u2019s a quick tip to show you how to keep the edge of your chalk sharp so you can draw clear lines and make precise markings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video youtu.be\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Quick Sewing Tips: Sharpening Tailor&#039;s Chalk\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F4A_iohpJxs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;re introducing a new series of quick video sewing tips with this hint about how to sharpen your tailor&#8217;s chalk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":54977,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20687],"tags":[20730],"class_list":["post-54969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-quick-sewing-tips"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/SharpenChalk.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5jZS5-eiB","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6598,"url":"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2013\/04\/tool-tuesday-tailors-chalk.html","url_meta":{"origin":54969,"position":0},"title":"tool tuesday: tailor&#8217;s chalk","author":"Liesl Gibson","date":"April 30, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Tailor's chalk is sure to become your most-used marking sewing tool.
