I Need Pirate Words...

[Apple Tree Crafts]

....yes, I know, bizarre request...:p

I've made a boy's laundry bag, and it's just plain cotton duck, but the pocket is colourful Pirate fabric.

I need a word, hopefully short, to put above the pocket in felt letters...like 'swag' only that's for a burglar's hoard.

I've thought about Treasure...but it's quite a long word when you're handsewing....

Any ideas?

[icecreamgirl]

umm, Jewels, Riches, Fortune, Gold,
post a piccie when you're done!!

[swirlyarts]

Parrot, arrrrr, bounty, chest, hoard, Jolly Roger, buccaneers, mutiny, loot,

[EMEvans]

Could you just sew the skull and bones?

[Apple Tree Crafts]

...lots to chose from...Loot is favourite so (sew!) far, because it's short.

I'll show you why, when it's finished. These bags, for safety reason are for kids over 5.

On the adult laundry bags, I was going to words like 'smalls' or 'undies', or maybe 'delicates'

The shorter the word, the less fiddly cutting out I need to do.

Thanks girls!

Princess words next.....I thought of HRH Laundry or something similar...

These are probably too long but -shiver me timbers, yo ho ho.

Love your princess idea.

I never thought of Yo Ho Ho! and Ahoy! They are brilliant!

Remember that little kiddies tv program about pirates? All they said was Yo ho, and ahoy, in different tones of voice. It was so cute. Sam loved it years ago....until we bought him a cuddly pirate character from it, which talked if you squeezed it's hand. Frightened the life out of Sam and he refused to watch the prog after that...oh well, such is life!

Hehehe, thats reminded me of a character in the film Dodgeball, there was a guy that thought he was a pirate and all he said was 'Gaarrrrrr'.

[Apple Tree Crafts]

As we're making pirate bags try "knit like a pirate"

http://knitlikeapirate.com/

complete with knitting patterns for tri-corn hats and more!

[Seahorse]

Coooool tricorn hat!!

[goldy1]

"Booty" is the pirate word for swag. but if it's laundry I wouldn't think of it as swag :D
I think the skull and cross bones would be more aropriate or "beware"

[candles by lisa]

Treasure .................... although if it's for a laundry bag I don't want to find that particular treasure!!!

[beadsbydesign]

"swashbuckling", "ah ha me hearties", this be a fine thread!

Sorry, this pirate thing is becoming a bit obsessive now!

[indri]

My pirate name is:
Bloody Morgan Flint

What's yours?? (or anyone elses?) http://www.piratequiz.com/ You could put it on your bag!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

I got such a naff pirate name...lets not go there!

Mad Anne Roberts thats me!!

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

Thats the blurb about me too!!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

I was Capt Anne Roberts too!

I didn't read the blub, it was being drowned in html stuff...

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!


That's me :D

[swirlyarts]

It's spooky how much like the blurb bit I actually am - if you get what I mean! Off to bed shortly as it has been a long day....... :horse:

[Seahorse]

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have done nothing today but search for pirate stuff!!I seem to be obsessed!!
