I got silly putty on my cotton jammie pants yesterday. I’ve already tried freezing it, but it’s still just as flexible.

@lucillelucillelucille I put the pants in the freezer, but it’s still flexible and hard to scrape off, it’s just cold now.

If all else fails, cut the blob out and sew a nice, little heart-shaped patch over the hole.

@Pied_Pfeffer, No, just a former quilt maker. You can patch or appliqué on most fabrics, but cotton is easy. If you are creative enough, you can make the repair look deliberate and special.
