My Homemade Fish Extender
I finally finished mine and was able to get a picture - just in time too, we set sail in less than 2 weeks!
I too had a hard time with how to personalize the FE, knowing that I may cruise with other people in the future (hoping to rebook for a girls only cruise in 2013!)... and of course, what do you do when you get home? So I didn't put any name on it, and instead "installed" a wipe-board as a way to keep it customized and new every time!  As you can see, I themed it around my favorite Pixar movie, Up (you can see stuffed Dug sitting off to the side!). The cloud serves as a dry-erase/wipe-board, which I plan to customize each day with little sayings like "Anchors Away!" or "Off to Castaway Cay". I bought wet-erase markers, just in case someone tries to play with it in the hallway. I don't have a sewing machine with me here, so it's all glue/bonded... but I think it turned out decent.

The UP FE is adorable! Excellent job!!! I didn't personalize ours either since I wanted it to work if I cruised with others.

Thanks! For the characters, We actually each just selected an iron-on applique at Joanne's and she ironed them on the pockets. The letters were some iron on letters she had around the house. |

We'll be on the Fantasy in June for my daughter's college graduation and she and her DBF will have a cabin of their own.
 I'd like to get them their own fish extender made as a surprise. There are great pictures of FEs some of you have made. My MIL sews and was wondering if there is a pattern or instructions that you've followed. Or, I've read the rave reviews about the FEs gradysmom, on ebay, has made. I'm not an ebay regular - how do I find her or contact her and does she do custom orders?  Many thanks for your help and guidance!

Looks great!!!
 I have yet to finish mine, it's all in a box ready to get sewn or glued! Can I ask you, how you put the names and pirate hats? Iron on tranfers?
