Fish Extenders?

[cocowum]

Here is my FE 8 inches wide, and a whopping 13 inches with the golden Mickey's.
It was fine!

That's an awesome door! Did I see a pic of it over on Debs site? As a decorated door winner?

AWESOME DOOR!

May I ask how you made the ears above the door number? I have a pattern for a flat ear, but I love how yours are 3D!

They are also light up, I bought the stick on press light, from Target for $3.68 each, and made them into magnets. I got the black, they also had red and white.

Here is a better pic of them lit.

Thanks Robin......
I used three thick magnets to hold them up, and was careful to close my door and not let it slam shut.

Congrats on winning the contest! Great ideas.

Can I ask how deep (how many inches) your fish extenders pockets are?

 

[TiggerTails57]

The pockets are 61/2 inches by 61/2 inches.
FE 36 inches long and 8 inches wide.
2 inches of spotted Ribbon holding Golden Mickey's and rod. (Ribbon 1 1/2 inches wide)
Hanging ribbon 20 inches total.

Thanks so much for the info. I am stressing about the size of my FE pockets. I am a first time cruiser and my pockets are only 5 1/2 inches. So hopefully they'll be okay. (I'm a little OCD in case you hadn't noticed)

No problem........ I'm sure they will be fine.
They get emptied out quite often. Have a fun cruise!

... the trick is to leave it NOT so tight so that you can get your scissors or nail clippers thru it when you are ready to take it down!

LOL! we saw a few on the last cruise that were stuck!!! (the ties - they somehow got the FE down -- guess they had to rip their loop?)

Can two duckies fit in there with some room for ? If so I think you're good!!!

TiggerTails,

Thanks for the measurements, and WOW - what a spectacular door! I know that my DH is going to flip out when he sees the FE & whatever magnets I choose to put up.

But then he knows that I'm Disney crazy!

what is bias tape for?

Home made using Iron on transfer paper that prints on our home ink jet printer.
You need 1/4 yard of fabric, iron interfacing, wide double fold bias tape, and a 3/8" dowel 8" long.

Pockets are 11" X 5 1/2"
Back is 32" X 8"


Cut out backing and pockets then iron on interfacing.
Sew bias tape on top of pocket
pleat once on each side and pin bottom of pocket so that it is 8" wide.
baste, then pin bias tape on bottom and sew on
Pin pockets on backing and sew bottom of pocket to backing
Pin and baste around entire outside of project.
Pin then sew bias tape around outside edge of whole fish extender
fold top over leaving room for you dowel at top and sew along the inside of bias tape down each side to secure.

I am not a professional! These are just my notes on how I made mine. Good luck!

Kudos to CQUICK for passing on the instructions to me! This is such a fun project!

The bias tape is the light blue "border" around the material and pockets.
