Fish Extenders?

[huey578]

Getting ready to make my fish extender. What is a good length? Is there an avereage lenght? I don't want it touching all the way to floor. TIA

This thread helped me make my fish extender. It's not prefect but it did the job.

I'm so lucky - my mom sews and she is going to make us one! She has made a LOT of them...so now the problem is figuring out what fabric/patches/etc. that I want (and my family wants!!). I'm halfway tempted to bring several....so that way I don't have to eliminate options!

I don't have a fancy sewing machine, just a
Singer "Simple". I love to make them just for fun and usually give them away to Disboard familys that are on our ship.

Here are a few of my newest batch....

I got mine from ETSY seller Stitches N' Bows

She custom makes them to your liking; colors, embroidery right down to the trim. She is truely awesome.

I just ordered mine! I can't wait to see it when it comes!

Can you tell me what ETSY stands for. I'm looking to buy an FE for our March cruise. I am so not crafty, just want to buy one.

ETSY is a website. You can also find them on ebay.

 

[1st Cruise]

I got onto our FE list late and just put up a small bag for my DD. Me and my DW were surprised at some of the FE's that we say while delivering gifts. I can't wait to order one for our next cruise.

Gradysmommy on ebay, she totally rocked! Hope DD liked the pillowcase, when I took ours down to Guest Services to get it signed, (I was a little late, didn't get down there until the last Wednesday I think!) the lady said she'd seen a lot of them this cruise and wondered where I bought them, I had to laugh and blush when I got to tell her that I made them for our FE group!

Just wanted to share my FE, I ordered it from stitchesnbows on Etsy. She customized everything for me and was super fast in her responses. Price was very reasonable especially for the amazing quality.

Your FE looks great! I'm going to check out the website. Thanks.

This is a silly question, but has anyone ever come across a fish extender that was too small?

That is a great question. I have one similar to the above picture. I would like the pockets to be a couple inches deeper. Or have the pocket shared by DH & DW several inches deeper. A lot of the gifts hang out. And things do get swiped. You never know if you were forgotten or thieved.

I just measured my FE pockets, they are 5 1/4" deep, I think 6 1/2" would be better.

how wide can the fe hanger be? i'm working on mine right now for our first cruise but its looking a little wider than most of the ones pictured... i'm guessing it will end up 24". is that too wide?

About 9 inches max- that is the measurement of the "wall" that the Fish hook is attached to. If it is 24 inches it will get caught on people's arms as they walk by or in your door everytime you open and close it.

I also measured from fish hook to the ground and it is 47 inches long..

Way too wide. About 9 inches for the dowl (plus a filial on the end), about 8 1/2 for the fabric. If you used a bag/tote kind it could be wider as it would sort of drape from the fish.

The fish is on a narrow/angled wall that sets back your door from the hallway wall.

Okay, now I have what may be a silly question. I've seen 2, 4 and up pockets. Could you not have something that was just one long deep pocket? I see the advantages of pockets if there were seperate gifts for the children or something, but was thinking ONE deep long thingie would be more practical so stuff would fit, not hang out, not beg to be stolen, etc.

Or a I missing a flaw in my thinking?

That's a good thought! You might want to have a gusset or elastic around the top so you can easily get items in or out.

Here are a few more home made examples.
