You could try freezing the clothes, and picking the frozen gum off, then wash it again.

Or try Google.
 
ever seen that simpsons episode where lisa gets gum in her hair and everyone is like try peanut butter try butter try feezing it. her head ends up looks like a sandwhich
 
Here, I found this for ya.

Removing Chewing Gum from Fabric

Spray the stain with a pre-wash spray. Let it set for five or ten

minutes. Saturate the stain again with the pre-wash spray, rubbing the

gummed area to dissolve the gum. Work some laundry detergent into the

stain, rinse it well with hot water. Hold the stained area under the

faucet so the gummy residue can be rinsed off.

If you've gotten yourself into a sticky situation by getting chewing

gum on your clothes, there are ways to get it off that are safe for

your garments .

Using a dull knife lift the gum off the fabric. Then, rub ice on the

stain. This will help harden the rest of the gum so you can lift it off

more easily.

If the fabric is washable…

You should spray the stain with a pre-wash spray. Let it set for five

or ten minutes. Saturate the stain again with the pre-wash spray,

rubbing the gummed area to dissolve the gum. Work some laundry

detergent into the stain, then rinse it well with hot water. You should

hold the stained area under the faucet so the gummy residue can be

rinsed off.

If the gum remains, repeat the process. If not, launder the item using a bleach that is safe for that fabric.

If the fabric is non-washable…

To remove gum stains from non washable items, you should sponge the

stained area with a cleaning fluid such as Energine or Renuzit or

Carbona. You can usually get these products in drug stores or houseware

departments.

Test an area first…

Always test cleaning fluid in a place that doesn't show. If the fluid

doesn't seem to hurt the fabric, you can use it. Place the stained side

of the fabric face down on a clean paper towel. Sponge the back of the

stain with cleaning fluid. If the paper towel doesn't absorb the gum,

tap the back of the stained area with a spoon. The sturdier the fabric

the harder you can tap. Repeat the process until the stain is gone.

Consult professionals…

For valuable, dry-clean-only items, have the stain removed professional. Be sure to point the stain out to the cleaners.
