That's an easy one.  But an easy thing to miss, especially if you are
new.

df reports the free space on the /filesystem/
lvextend changes the size of the /block device/

Now that your block device is bigger, you need to extend the filesystem
to 
use that new space.

What filesystem are you using?

Also, in the future, I believe EVMS can do this all with one command and

there is a nice ncurses interface.
