Temporary hemming device

Abstract

A temporary hemming device includes first and second rows of cooperating fasteners, such as hook and eye fasteners, or cooperating stud or snap members, and the like, with the first and second rows of cooperating fasteners affixed to the inside of a pant leg or sleeve of a garment, such that the pant leg or sleeve can be inwardly folded to removably fasten the first and second rows of cooperating fasteners together to form a temporary hem of the pant leg or sleeve of the garment.

       2 . The hemming device of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of fastener pairs are cooperating pairs of stud fasteners. 
   
   
       3 . The hemming device of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of fastener pairs are cooperating pairs of snap fasteners. 
   
   
       4 . The hemming device of  claim 3 , wherein said snap fasteners are configured to slidably rotate when fastened together without separating. 
   
   
       5 . The hemming device of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of fastener pairs are hook and eye fasteners. 
   
   
       6 . The hemming device of  claim 1 , wherein said first planar sides of said first and second sheets of material include a coating of contact adhesive configured to rapidly affix said first planar sides of said first and second sheets of material to the portion of the garment to be hemmed. 
   
   
       7 . The hemming device of  claim 6 , wherein said contact adhesive is reusable, such that said first and second sheets can be reapplied on the garment to be hemmed. 
   
   
       8 . A hemming device, comprising:
 a first sheet of material and a second sheet of material each having first and second planar sides, said firs planar sides of said first and second sheets of material being configured to be affixed to first and second portions of a garment to be hemmed; and   corresponding first and second rows of a plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners affixed to said second sides of said first and second sheets of material, respectively, said first and second rows of said plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners being configured to be removably coupled together, said first and second sheets of material being configured to be affixed to a portion of a part of a garment to be hemmed, such that the part of a garment to be hemmed can be folded about a hem line to removably fasten the first and second rows of cooperating fasteners together to form a hem of the pant leg or sleeve of the garment.   
   
   
       9 . The hemming device of  claim 8 , wherein said plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners are pairs of cooperating stud fasteners. 
   
   
       10 . The hemming device of  claim 8 , wherein said plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners are pairs of cooperating snap fasteners. 
   
   
       11 . The hemming device of  claim 10 , wherein said snap fasteners are configured to slidably rotate when fastened together without separating. 
   
   
       12 . The hemming device of  claim 8 , wherein said plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners are hook and eye fasteners. 
   
   
       13 . The hemming device of  claim 8 , wherein said first planar sides of said first and second sheets of material include a coating of contact adhesive configured to rapidly affix said first planar sides of said first and second sheets of material to the portion of the garment to be hemmed. 
   
   
       14 . The hemming device of  claim 13 , wherein said contact adhesive is reusable, such that said first and second sheets can be reapplied on the garment to be hemmed. 
   
   
       15 . A method of hemming a garment to be hemmed, comprising the steps of:
 providing a first sheet of material having a first planar side configured to be affixed to a first portion of a garment to be hemmed, said first sheet of material having a second planar side including a first row of a plurality of first portions of a plurality of fastener pairs configured to be reversibly coupled together;   providing a second sheet of material having a first planar side configured to be affixed to a second portion of a garment to be hemmed, said second sheet of material having a second planar side including a second row of a plurality of second portions of said plurality of fastener pairs, said second row of a plurality of second portions of said plurality of fastener pairs being configured to be coupled with said first row of said plurality of first portions of said plurality of fastener pairs, wherein said first and second sheets of material with said first row of said plurality of first portions of said plurality of fastener pairs and said second row of a plurality of second portions of said plurality of fastener pairs are configured to be arranged such that the part of a garment to be hemmed can be folded about a hem line to reversibly couple the first and second rows of cooperating fasteners together to form a hem of the pant leg or sleeve of the garment;   affixing the first and second sheets of material to an inside lower portion of the part of the garment to be hemmed in parallel or substantially parallel spaced apart rings;   folding the portion of the garment to be hemmed inwardly about a desired hem line; and   removably fastening said first and second rows of cooperating fasteners together to form a hem of the portion of the garment to be hemmed, such that the first and second sheets of material said first and second rows of cooperating fasteners are concealed within the part of the garment to be hemmed.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners are pairs of cooperating stud fasteners. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said plurality of pairs of cooperating fasteners are pairs of cooperating snap fasteners. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein said snap fasteners are configured to slidably rotate when fastened together without separating. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said first planar sides of said first and second sheets of material include a coating of contact adhesive such that said first planar sides of said first and second sheets of material can be rapidly affixed to the portion of the garment to be hemmed. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said contact adhesive is reusable, and further comprising the step of reapplying at least one of said first and second sheets on the garment to be hemmed.
