Never let me near wet paint! The blue paint smear on the knee of my pants, gave me an idea for saving. Put this hero standing in blue water (paint). Unfirtunately, I was hurried and didn't plan ahead...it is upside down. Lost khaki pants anyway-sob.

If the design is above the knee, it would be perfect for you to look at. Also a great conversation starter. Lol!

Awesome save. Well the idea and all. I would probably cut him out, in a rounded square. Make another rounded square of a light color material. Sew that in the area and put the embroidered piece back on with a decor stitch. I really love your idea.

Could you sew it upside down as well, so it looks like a reflection?

Great idea!!!

I might have tried that if I had not leaped ahead w/pockets. Just casual pants, so the 'carry-alls' will be handy. Thx for suggestion...next time I will try that. If I get blue paint on me..haha

I think I'd leave it just as it is. It would make a great conversation starter! Sometimes, what I think are the worst problems turn out to be something wonderful.

I love Martine's idea of sewing it right side up and it would look like a reflection! Sounds like a good idea!!

Well as an Aussie, if I did that I'd just say

"I come from the land downunder and that's how we see everything!"

Ha ha ha!!!! Love Chris

Great suggestions, but I decided to cover with pockets ( I love pockets- phone, coins, etc).

I think you are the “hero”. Placing the bird in the exact place.
