Marcia Miktuk, Inventor of patented Flip-Hem®
I’ve been in marketing communications for over thirty years and with a degree in graphic design, I love to create. A few years ago, I created in a new and different way.
I had a stack of pants that needed to be re-hemmed because I wanted to wear them with a different heel height. I’ve always done my own hemming, but I knew once I got them hemmed again, I would want to wear different shoes.
My husband also had a “hem dilemma”. He worked in the racing industry and wore uniforms at the track. Once the crew changed into their flat sole track shoes, their pants were too long. Pant length was critical and they would turn their pant legs under and staple or tape them so they wouldn’t drag!
I was determined to figure out a way to make pants permanently adjustable — quickly and easily. I wanted a solution that would change the length of my pants in seconds. Flip-Hem now solves the age-old dilemma of pant length and can provide significant savings to pant manufacturers by reducing length SKUs.
