ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed at a hem retainer comprising a strip of flexible material which has a series of first and second engagement portions. At least one of the first engagement portions is engageable with at least one of the second engagement portions to hold the strip of flexible material in a circular configuration.
This invention is also directed at a method of forming a cuff on a pant leg or the like, the pant leg having an inside surface, an outside surface and an opening. The operator first measures the desired length of the pant leg, turns the pant leg inside out and then turns the excess length of the leg back on the inside surface of the pant leg. The hem retainer of the instant invention is formed into a circular configuration which is then inserted within the pant leg, adjacent the opening stretching the pant leg around the hem retainer by adjusting the circumference of the hem retainer. The operator can then sew the excess pant length to the inside surface of the pants leg forming a cuff.
