Not Paper

Ok ... this is definitely not a paper craft project, but I'm very pleased with how this came out. In several weeks (6 weeks from Friday), we're going on a cruise. Recently, I joined the DISboards and found out about Fish Extenders. These are wonderful little pocket things that hang from the little fish note holders outside some staterooms. I created mine today!! Here are a few picture - keep in mind that I am NOT a seamstress in ANY form of the word. :)

Yep ... that's my Fish Extender .... It's made from pirate map fabric, with Mickey, Marines, flames, and princess fabric for the pockets. There is batting on the inside to make it a little stronger and stiffer. Craft sticks hold the top straight.










This is the pocket for Jared, my oldest. Everything is top-stitched. I did this to make it easier on myself, and I really think it looks better that way.








Here's the top of the FE. It shows the pirate fabric a little better, the little bows, and the top pocket.








Later this week, I plan to have a tutorial (photo) of welding in the Cricut Design Studio. It was requested by some friends on the Cricut thread on SCS. Just know I'm working on it!!!
