Fish Extenders?

[JKMJ441724]

I know I've seen somewhere on these boards the exact dimensions and instructions for making a FE. Does anyone know where I can find those again / or will someone be sweet enough to post them here?

When I searched the boards I found this thread with instructions. Hope this helps...

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!

I made the fabric part. How long is the ROD?? I don't want it to be too long that it hangs over that tiny sliver of a wall that we put them on!!!!

When I cruised the Dream in Feb. I took the DCL logo embroidered laundry bag from the closet (it is available as a souvenier for $5 room charge). The logo is navy thread on white heavy cotton. I plan on applique-ing to a FE or making a tote with it. Everyone on this "thread" has inspired me!

This is my work in progress for our Double Dip in Sept '08.

I embroidered Mickey and Minnie for each member of our family and Pluto on the bottom for our dog -who will be a doggie camp while we are on the ship.

I used cotton fabric and ironed "Pellon Deco Bond" to the fabric to make the pockets stand up better.

Where did you get the appliques? Or do you have a fancy sewing machine?
They look great.

Here is mine. I think it might be a little wide, so I will try and make it narrower.

There are 4 of us, but after a few comments about shallow pockets, I decided to make 2 large pockets rather than 4 small ones.

I want to put our name and some Mickey's on the pockets. I have a cricut but am not sure about cutting fabric with it.

What is the minimum number of rooms you need participating? It seems there are only a few interested in an FE on my cruise in October so I'm wondering if it's worth pursuing.

Hi! I will be on your cruise in October and would love to do it! Even if its just two of us.

I have found that the little extras, such as this, make trips more special.

Its our first DCL cruise, but with our trips to WDW, we did meet people from the boards and it was a ton of fun.

For our cruise over Christmas, there were only 5 families total in our group, and I think it worked out great. Allowed us to give some nice things without breaking the budget. And it was a nice treat to come back to goodies each day.

Can someone explain to me how the FE works if someone is cruising concierge? We have someone on our meet thread who was asking and I thought we would ask the experts. Thanks.

I'm not sure we will even have 5.

Oh yay! That's how I feel about it, too, which is why I want to do an FE so much.

We have two connecting cabins. If we did FE, would we just put up one, or would we do one for each room? What do people with two cabins usually do?

I have the same question so I am bumping.

We do two room, and we only do one FE. I didn't really want to advertise a second room, and that way people only have to package up one gift.

We had this same question come up last cruise. We decided that, if you're one family, it's one FE, despite how many rooms you have. I gave a nice gift that cost about $8 and it wouldn't have been fair to have to do one for each room and get one gift in return that was something like Oriental Trading plastic stuff.

I really wanted to do this special FE gift, pretty much as I was running the meet and wanted to do something a little extra special, so it's not just me being snobby, but I also really didn't want to bankrupt myself. We had 25 in our group.
