feeling frustrated

[robinsnest]

ugh. I put my sleeves in. They're not amazing but they're in. and I have encountered a problem.

I used yellow chalk to mark where to put my buttonholes...I can't get it off. So my Center front has yellow marks...and my sleeves are too long...seriously thinking about just wearing the purple dress so I don't have to stress.

I know this might sound odd but take a toothbrush or a similar fine brush and use that on the yellow chalk marks. It should get most of it out.

I was going to say the same thing, brush it (when it's dry) to get the chalk off.

And your sleevils look just fine to me.

If the sleeves are too long, take tiny tucks near the wrists to shorten them. It will look like you meant to do it. As for the chalk, if brushing it doesn't work, then try cheap vodka, first testing it on a scrap to make sure it doesn't stain or spot.

OH NO! I hope it comes out. I love the tuck idea Corbaegirl suggested, I think that would look cool!

that looks amazing! I like the tuck idea too. and I know someone with plenty of cheap vodka if you want to try that trick...

I think it looks beautiful, and I find dry washcloths work for the chalk too
