I keep those slivers of soap in my sewing box. The skinny, thin slivers work great for marking my seam, or to make an X on the material. It washes off so easily. I've used it for crafts, or for sewing.
It is also good to rub over itchy seams made by thick thread or those itchy tags. Just rub it over the itchy spot and it smooths it where it doesn't irritate your skin.

During the 70's I had a bad experience with the tailor's chalk. It didn't wash off as it was supposed to do. Granted, it was on the wrong side but it made me mad that this so called washable product wasn't. I've been using soap scraps ever since. Thanks for posting.
OMG we also had problems with tailor chalk in the 1970s! For a while one brand just wouldn't wash off.
Thank you for sharing this tip. I have often had these itchy tags on my clothes.
Want to try this as cutting off each tag with important washing instructions are important to me as well as the size of the item.
