Vtg Hem Marker

This is a classic Vintage Pin-Style Skirt Marker (also known as a Hem Gauge), an essential, floor-standing tool used by tailors and home dressmakers to achieve perfectly straight hemlines. It features a wooden ruler anchored to a stable metal base. The adjustable metal sliding arm sets the desired height from the floor, and the hinged piece at the top allows the user to insert pins around the entire circumference of the skirt, guaranteeing an even hem. A great functional or decorative piece for a vintage sewing collection.
