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.

You made a great recovery.

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

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

Great double save

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

So funny! Would that excuse work for me tho, in Tennessee, USA. I might fe hauled away...lol

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

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.

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

Can maybe still be put to use???So sad!!

Cute them off for shorts and make a tote bag out of the legs saving your bird! love the idea and design

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.

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

Sorry..that is 'heron'.
