FE Question

[SnipsNSnails]

We have 5 people, so it's a 5 pocket FE, $52 shipped. I don't sew and looked everywhere for anything with 5 pockets that would work instead and could find nothing. Then I looked at how I could make one without sewing a lot and decided that in the end by the time I bought materials I'd be in at least $25 if not more. At that point I'd rather just have someone else do it and it will turn out a lot better than mine!

LOL ... That is how life works. Like I said before ... It's a good idea your doing the intials with velcro. You need to use that FE until it is worn out

I made our FE from fabric from the charity shop. It took a couple of hours sewing and cost less than £5. To personalise it I sewed a clear plastic sheet to each fabric pocket so it made a second pocket. I then printed out the cruise details and our names and slipped these in the pockets. They can simply be removed and replaced to update it for a future cruise or a different family members.

I can manage basic sewing with a machine, but I am not a "crafty" person!

I think that's how you become a crafty person! A little sewing here and there and eventually your brain starts exploding with crafty ideas. LOL
