When my Great Aunt passed over in 1999 I inherited all her stash and sewing stuff. (I know!! Lucky me!) In there were several shirtwaist type dresses which appeared to be in the style of the 60's which had been cut and marked in a similar manner. Since I wanted to reuse the fabric I just tossed it in the washer with cool water and it came out just fine.
If the marks don't come out or aren't going to be hidden in the darts or seams perhaps you could cover them with embroidery or fabric paint. --- Tania Gruning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hiya all. > > I am in the process of making a shirt (not > historical), that has been on hold for several > years. > When I started on the shirt, I used a wheel and > tracing paper to get the pattern over to the fabric. > > It is white 100% linen.
