Temporary Gauge for Hemming Pants

 

Recently I hemmed 4 pair of men's pants all the same size, so the hemming on all 4 used the same measurements.  When hemming pants, especially for men, the front and back are not the same length and thus the side seams are a different measure involving transition of length.

So instead of resetting my gauge 3 different times for a specific measurement as small as an eighth inch, I made a temporary paper gauge.

It really speeded up the process.
