Started with the No Sew Instructions...Couldn't get my head around what they were telling me to do (my fault, not the instructions fault)...took everything I had bought to my grandmother..she decided it was easier to sew than not...We created our Fish Extender! So excited! Still have to add names and a couple other little extras, but basically it is done!!!

Super cute! I love what you did with the pockets.
We used the same fabric. It's been awhile since I've posted mine so I'll do so again.

How neat we used the same fabric (and we'll both have a Cameron pocket too). For me though I only had 2 choices at our ONLY fabric store within at least an hour drive..

Now if I had wanted Hannah Montana, they had several different choices of that...

We are trying to decide whether to put the names across the top or the bottom of the pocket. I really like yours across the top so that might influence my decision.

Yeah, we didn't have much choice either. Other than another Mickey print and a bunch of Hannah Montana, this was it. We're not into HM and the other MIckey didn't have much color in it, so this was it! I like it though

And we have another thing in common too. We're in Texas as well!!!

Maybe our Texas stores just don't do Disney fabric....I curse Walmart on a regular basis as all of the ones in our area took out pretty much the entire arts/craft and all of the fabric departments recently.

Here are pics of our magnets and FE! The Mickey Ears not lining up was totally my fault... was busy and did not pay attention to print size and did not double-check Next time I will follow ALL directions provided by the fantastic & creative & generous folks on DIS!

2gr8DisneyKids - I LOVE your FE!!!!! That is so creative and SO cute!!!!

Thanks! I do not sew (do not own a sewing machine). I shop (and craft). LOL!

I fell in love with the custom Disney shirts I got for the kids for the trip and so I ordered the iron-ons from etsy, bought the shirts and shorts (and some minimal sewing items) from Wal-Mart. I no-sew taped them and then hand sewed them to make sure they did not fall apart.

It held up well, I just wish I had sewn the shirt to the shorts with white since you see the inside of the shorts.

Sorry if I posted it before, but it was totally easy and fun.

I have spent about two hours going through this whole thread to get ideas for my 'first' FE!!! Thank you everyone for the photos.

I have got the felt, a few ideas, but not sure if gluing or sewing yet! However, thinking about the pole and ends, I went into the bathroom today and saw some little bottles of shampoo from Disney. The lids for these would be perfect to cap off the poles!

Just and idea!

I can't wait to get started with my own projects!!!!

Hi - try Hobby Lobby if you have one. I found some fabric at Walmart.

I think one of the best gifts we got was a Cruise Kit. It had a couple bandaids, safety pins, small sewing kit, rubber bands, ziplock bags and a highlighter.

We also got a small first aid kit I still carry in the car.

A laminated calender with our cruise logo and a magnet on the back. It hung on our frig all the next year a great way to remember our wonderful trip.

I agree, I too got a Cruise kit complete with first aid kit, wrinkle spray for clothing, room freshner, sewing kit, markers, a black marker with the name and date of the cruise and a whole bunch of other stuff. I even got some travel games, cards, post cards, etc. You can always also buy stuff when you get off the boat as we aslo received a rum cake when we landed in Nassua.

Its nice to get things from the area you live to give to those on your list. Like maple syrup from those in Canada or Vermont.

Good luck and be creative! You'll have a blast doing them!
