very nice! Was it hard to do? I'm debating between making one or buying one...

I cannot speak for the OP, but I did make mine myself (this is last year's)

and it wasn't much work at all. I think once I sat down it with it it was done in an hour and a half!
I sure am making a new one for this cruise!

Nice! Did you sew it or use the no-sew directions?

I sewed because I have a sewing machine and don't mind a little simple sewing.

It wasn't too hard, the most difficult thing was getting the pockets even (and finding the fabric - we don't have Joanns and Michaels over here).

That red & White spotted fabric is slightly stretchy (It's like a t-shirt material) and so the pockets kept moving as I sewed them. I ended up glueing them in place and then sewing over over the glue. It might not be a traditional method but it worked!

I used an A4 sheet of paper (like letter size) as my template, so the extender is the width of a landscape sheet of paper, and the pockets are the width of a portrait sheet of paper.

I sewed mine too!

The correct measurements, so it fits on the space under the fish are in one of the DCL threads and mine was really easy to do.
We made the iron on images ourselves, I used jeans fabric and it was pretty simple sewing.

I just found these dimensions Back is 32" X 8" apparantly it should be no more than 8 inches wide. Mine is closer to 10....

We have seen many that were wider than ours (I stuck with the measurements given).
It is just much easier for people to brush up against them when they are walking by if they are wider. Otherwise it should not be a problem!

They are fantastic, Bev and Karin. Hmmm, think I need to go shopping for material ...

The Aug. 25th Dream cruise will be our very first! How exciting it is to find others that will be on the same cruise! We'd love to be included in the fish extender. We aren't sure what room we'll be in yet, but can we please sign up?

Found out at work yesterday that they are going to be laying some of us off. I don't know yet whether I'll be one of them but we might have to cancel the cruise if I lose my job, or even if I haven't found out before the 75 day mark. Send some pixie dust my way!

 

[dreaming4disney]

I hope it all works out for you.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, so that everything works out and you will be able to cruise with us all!

 

[BevS97]

Just wondering what sort of info we will get for the Fish Ext. exchange? Will we find out family size & number of kids etc?

 

[joius24]

Pixie dust and prayers for Jo ......

I beleive Dizneeat is the keeper of the FE info...I am sure she will share it when she reads your post

bumping up. i haven't been to this thread in quite some time as we had a death in our family. (my mil passed away very unexpectedly from a heart attack). it was a very hard time and we are still trying to understand it.
hope everyone else has been doing good!

I will put up a webpage with all the necessary information during my Easter holiday (which starts in 10 days!) and it will/should include, first names of all FE participants, ages of kids and stateroom numbers.
Shortly before we cruise we will send out maps (or make them downloadable from our site) of the locations of all the cabins on the ship.

I had a lot on my mind lately, so I hope you will excuse that this has taken some time. I hope to catch up with everything during my Easter Vacation!
