Fish Extenders?

[TravelinGal]

Trying to post a picture of my fish extender and can't figure out how! hmmmm

You need to upload the image to a free hosting site (like www.photobucket.com) and then simply insert the link they provide you. You can use the

image that appears above the posting box or simply use [IMG ]link[/IMG ] (taking out the spaces). HTH!

Awesome job!! Love the material.....

The mickey heads at the end of the dowel are actually antenna toppers I bought at Disney. We just painted them gold.

My wife, son and I are going on a 7 night DCL cruise this June. When the discussion started about doing FE's on this cruise, she and I discussed buying one on e-Bay, but we decided that making one ourselves would make it more personal and have more meaning to us. Being the one in our family who sews, it was delegated to me to get the task done while she "supervised". Well at long last, after much blood shed, many applications of the whip and a few tears we have finished . To celebrate, I decided I would load the picture for everyone to see. Of course, when my beautiful wife reads this post, there may be actual blood shed and tears on my part!!

I've been a lurker for quite some time, but I wanted to thank everyone on here who have posted their FE for inspiration. I just finished the FE for the May cruise my DH and I are going on. I used similar directions that have been posted on this thread, but I don't sew and have never used a sewing machine in my life so I used all the iron-on adhesive backing and hem and I think it did really good. Here's the pic!

Very nice!! well done.....

 

[TiggerTails57]

Here is mine I just finished...............

I made this Fish Extender for my DS, Ddil, and DGkiddies.
I bought the 'pockets' at Target for $1.00 each and the material from Jo Ann's. It's no sew! Hope they like it!

I tried to get these pics small, sorry if they are too big........[/QUOTE]

Thanks! We are cruising before Easter March/April......I just wanted something a little different.
The flag theme sounds great!

These all look terrific! My DH and I are taking the Wonder 4 night in December on the Mousefest cruise and I plan on sewing an FE before then! We're going to WDW in a few weeks so I'll pick up some patches and antenae toppers there. BTW, on one of the other DIS board threads, someone mentioned the site disneyfabrics.com/ I mention it because there seems to be alot there if you are looking for specific themed fabric.

btw...I just read every, single one of the posts on this thread....hows that for having extra time, lol?

What a great thread! This tradition hadn't started yet when my DW and last sailed with DCL (June 2000). I'm really hoping my cruisemates coming up on the July 2009 cruise do this. My DW already said she'd be happy to make one, so when she does I'll be sure to post a pic.

The creativity here is astonishing, it relaly gave her some great ideas as we read the thread together.

Fish Extender for my DD (I modified)
It was a door gift at MouseFest 08, from Mouse Fan Travel. So I can't take all the credit. DD wanted me to add Mickey Ears, and her name.

oh that's so cute

This is ours. Leaving 2/12 to Florida. Sailing 2/19.


About 90% of is done with fabric glue and fabric bonding tape. I do own a sewing machine so I sewed on the cording around the edge and zipped across the bottom of the pockets. I really could have done this whole thing without any sewing.

So, you don't need sewing skills to make a fish extender.
