Fish Extenders?

[PurplePrincess4]

Your Fish Extender turned out really nice. I LOVE the leopard print!

Fish Extender from my Back 2 Back cruises from September 8 to the 22nd.

It was made from a rolling bag with broken wheels. Cut the bag apart, left the zipper at the top and handles on. Cut the handle open at the top and cut the other handle off the other side of the bag. Sewed the handle pieces together. Cut pockets out of the sides of the bags and sewed Mickey heads onto them. Then sewed the pockets to the bag

LuvtheEars -- did you embroider those patches directly on using an embroidery machine, and the fonts.. or are they patches or something? It came out great!

Thank you! I used a Bernina embroidery machine and embroidered the designs directly on my pockets before I put the FE together.

This is my first time to post a picture I hope this works.

Here are our fish extenders. My Mom made them. One was made to represent Mickey Mouse and to represent Minnie Mouse.

It doesn't appear that my posting worked. Can someone tell me how to post a picture please ?

Thank you!

OK here goes nothing. These are our fish extenders that my Mom made. One represent Mickey Mouse and one represents Minnie Mouse.

Thank you for your help.

Olivia'sMom....Very creative and cute! Great job!

bumping...I had a bit of a problem finding this thread. Search doesn't seem to be working too well tonight!

Everyone who made one...they all look great. Hopefully mine will look 1/2 as good!

Olivia's Mom - It's nearly time to leave for work, so I'm being lazy. Instead of searching the thread for the answer, I'll just ask: Where did you get the rods with the Mickey-head icons as finials for your fish extenders?

Broke down yesterday and visited our local chain fabric store, but didn't see anything likely to use for the top/bottom rods. Suppose I could try the chain arts/crafts store...but being pointed in the correct direction would help with my no-sew version of the FE.

Those are dowel rods that we cut and used precut wooden shepers. They had a cut out in them already which fit our dowel rods perfect. We painted them black and used that stiff foam to cut out ears and glued them on. I got it all at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks, so much, OM! We ended up not adopting your Mickey/Minnie theme (store didn't have a lot of Disney - can you believe it?), but this gives me ideas to carry out our Napa/Sonoma theme instead.

 

[chewtd]

Thank you for all the wonderful ideas. I'm just not sure if it would get much use, as we are not traveling with a big group. What do you all say?

 

[bettydau]

You may be right about the FE's not being as useful when you're not going with a group. We sail 1/20 and have five cabins with all our family, so we know this will just add to the fun!

 

[m4travel]

We've never had an FE on earlier cruises. Even when we cruised the DVC Members cruise we didn't do any sort of exchange - and we saw the folks we knew around the ship every day.

However, on the next cruise we are doing Secret Santa, so it's de rigeur. I'm attempting a no-sew version (well, practically no-sew); too lazy to get out the Singer and fire it up!

 

[LoveMickey]

I'm doing the Fish Extenders as just part of door decorations, just for the fun of it.

Figgy4me: How did you get the Mickey head in your signature? I knew how once but I can't find the info. Thanks
