Fish Extenders?

[Makayna]

Many go unnoticed....but that's life....I posted mine a while back and think I got a comment, maybe two, but it's not the end of the world. I don't see the big deal if people post more than once, or if others quote when they compliment on it and it shows up again in the quote. Guess I don't understand the big deal.

Well, if someone quotes it, that's fine, of course. But posting the finished product again and again, it's like "HEY! LOOK AT MY FISH EXTENDER! AGAIN!!!"

I still don't understand why you care if other people can benefit from it. Also, I went back and it looks like they posted it once a little over a week ago and then again right after yours. That's not really posting it over and over again. It just seems like you're upset it came right after yours. I just don't understand why it's that important to you.

By the way, I thought yours was pretty nice too!

Is this made using the no sew instructions?
Thanks!

Whether you meant it to be mean or not it was IMO. And I'm glad they posted again if that is more than once because it's the first time I've seen it. This thread is so long so I only come in here every once in awhile and go straight to the last page of the thread. This is the first time I've seen this FE and it's really great and gave my daughter and I another idea.

If you don't like the post just go by it, don't have to be rude!!! Are you just upset because a really cool FE was posted right after yours??? It's just out of curiosity and not meant to be mean, but I don't understand why your asking the question.

I don't feel that she was being mean at all. Just pointing out something that bothered her. It's not like she put down the FE.
I can see both sides, posting once is enough, no need to flood the thread. But I don't think twice is a big deal either, and I probably wouldn't say anything about it unless maybe it got really out of hand.
Perhaps what makes it stand out more is that it is also re-posted in the quotes (no problem with that at all), so it probably just brings it to the posters mind more often and she was bothered by it.

No biggy, we each have things that bother us. Let's just put it behind us, no need to argue about it.

I agree. Makayna, best wishes for a beautiful wedding and wonderful Disney honeymoon cruise!

Just out of curiosity, and not meant to be mean, but I just don't understand... why do you keep posting the same Fish Extender over and over again?!

WOW didnt mean to offend anyone. I HAVE posted the picture of my FE on 3 different threads about FE's.... not everyone reads ALL the threads so I thought I would post where people was asking about them?

Not like I went to all 3 threads and posted it at one time... I posted on an older thread about 2 months ago, then posted it again on a different thread about a week ago, then on this tread yesterday.

I NEVER meant for it to be a "look at mine" type thing. I just wanted people to realize they dont have to get on ebay or have someone make it for them, there are many other ways to create a FE.

Sorry you wont have to see my FE again! Didnt mean to 'hog' the thread with my picture!

I'm sorry if I came off a bit b*tchy. I'm in the height of wedding planning, so stress level is maxed out, and I knew I'd seen the same FE at least 3 times, and it just caught me wrong. Sorry for taking it out on you.

It IS a very nice FE, and it does look really great! You did a good job.

I'm sorry too, I held up a few posts this past weekend asking for help on mine --- it was frustrating.

Congrats on your wedding!!!

Have a good day all

Oh my goodness! You ALL have done great..especially all of you who are like us, and can't sew a stitch !!!! After our FE, my dd who made the bulk of it, really got motivated and bought herself a machine to learn how to sew!!!
So how cool is that? She was motivated to get sewing!!! This thread is totally about encouraging one anothers craftiness, getting ideas, sharing ideas, giving helps, and using old ones too! Because of this thread, we tried our own FE instead of buying. But it also gives folks a place to find out WHERE to buy and where someone can go if they don't want to make one! Thanks everyone for showing your talent...hopefully, it'll encourage someone else who thinks they can't do it...to go ahead and try!

Here is mine from our PC cruise. I just searched the thread and realized that I had not posted it on this thread before:

It was very lovingly sewed by hand, lol. The lettering is done with cardstock on my Cricut. The ends of the dowel rod are the ends a of party favor Slinky Dog. I wrapped a wire around the rod to make the slinky. The monkeys and fishing line form the holder for the rod.

I LOVE THIS!!!

 

[ge0rgette2]

NICE!!!!

I'm still trying to put initials on my mickey heads! LOL
Bought glittered blue, they didn't have red, initials and letters, but they look icky!
LMAO!

I'm in the process of cutting out initials with a scissor and some glitter foam!

Toooo cute! Your creativity is great! Loved the slinky dog, monkeys, and well, just everything! Way to think 'outside of the box'!!

hehehehe I've looked at this 3x already and LOVE IT !!!!
I can't stop looking - so many great ideas on this board..

Too bad mine isn't done yet! hehe

Do I remember that you have a Cricut? Why not cut the names out in vinyl? I get mine free from a local sign shop that gives me their scraps. Their scraps are huge pieces to me.

 

[ge0rgette2]

I do hav a criCut and i am not very good with it. Ive tried it. Either too small or too big. I dont know if i have any vinyl shops near me.

Love this one! Thanks for the ideas! I bought the Woody and Buzz Toy Story pillow sew and stitch fabric on clearance but just couldn't think about how I was going to use it to design a FE.

I do not sew but I guaranteed it will be glued and taped with TLC ;-)

 

[ge0rgette2]

I so wish I could find Mickey fabric in my local stores..

I searched and searched and finally found the blue stripped one at Joann's Fabrics mixed in with the disney fleece.

I like it but didn't jump for joy over it but I was desperate.

I do have extra, maybe I'll just redo mine without the Mickey heads... or use the mickey fabric as the background with plain pockets up front..

The ideas are endless aren't they?

Thanks everyone! I was so excited when I found the Toy Story fabric. It was DD's idea to have Slinky Dog as the dowel rod and I searched high and low to find the perfect size Slinky Dog but wasn't having much luck. I just happened upon the party favors at Hobby Lobby and they worked great. The monkeys were a last minute idea and we ran to Target at almost closing time and thankfully found them! "Buzz, the Monkeys aren't working, we're formulating another plan!", lol

And I'm not much of a sewer either. I can sew straight lines with a machine but that's it. Since I didn't have access to a machine, I did hand sew it and it took awhile, but I was very pleased with the outcome.

For our next cruise, I'm taking one that i took on our first cruise. The cruise is a surprise for the kids anyway so I wouldn't have time to work on it. It's the same design but has a Mickey theme

I love all this info on the FE...but what are some examples of things to put in them...or are they cruise specific? thanks!
