Device for shortening and/or cuffing pant legs and methods of making and using same

Abstract

The present disclosure provides devices for embellishing or adjusting the length of pant legs and/or sleeves of clothing items, and methods of making and using same.

1 . A device for adjusting the length of a pant leg or shirt sleeve, the device comprising:
 a sleeve of material having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; and   an elastic or semi-rigid portion at the first end for securing the device to the pant leg or shirt sleeve.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve of material further comprises a decorative element. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic or semi-rigid portion is an elastic band. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device covers a distal end of the pant leg or shirt sleeve when the pant leg or sleeve is shortened by rolling the pant leg or shirt sleeve away from the distal end on itself. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the sleeve comprises at least two materials having different decorative elements. 
     
     
         6 . A method for adjusting a length of a pant leg or a shirt sleeve, the method comprising:
 sliding a first end of a sleeve of material over a distal end of the pant leg or shirt sleeve;   shortening the length of the pant leg or shirt sleeve by rolling the distal edge of the pant leg or shirt sleeve away from the distal edge on itself; and   folding the second end of the sleeve of material over the rolled distal edge of the pant leg or shirt sleeve.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the step of shortening the length of the pant leg or shirt sleeve further comprises rolling the rolled pant leg or shirt sleeve away from the distal edge on itself a second time. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the sleeve of material comprises an elastic band at the first end. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the sleeve of material further comprises a decorative element. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the sleeve of material comprises at least two materials having different decorative elements. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the step of sliding the first end of the sleeve of material over the distal edge of the pant leg or shirt sleeve comprises aligning the distal end of the sleeve with the distal edge of the pant leg or shirt sleeve. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the pant leg or shirt sleeve is a shirt sleeve. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the pant leg or shirt sleeve is a pant leg.
