This is so funny!! Two of those shirts were my husbands.😂 It’s so fun to think you turned them into dresses for your daughter. I never thought after dropping his shirts off at Fashion Cents I would see them again, especially looking so adorable on Evonnie. I absolutely love them! Great idea💛

I love your idea to recycle shirts into dresses! I think Evonnie might have an easier time with the straps a little narrower. An alternative would be to criss-cross them in the back and attach them with a button or snap on the front - leaving a little extra length inside the jumper for lengthening later. Such a fun time in your life! Enjoy it - they grow so fast!

Seeing your darling daughter so excited for kindergarten reminds me of my darling daughter and her excitement for kindergarten over forty years ago! It’s a thrill we Mother’s never get over because we love seeing our children happy, thriving, and learning! I’m very happy and excited for Evonnie! May God bless her in school this year!

Turning the men's shirts into little girl's jumpers - GENIUS!! I remember growing up that my grandmother would go to thrift stores and buy long sleeve men's button-up shirts and then cut off the cuffs and put elastic in the arms to create a ruffle on the bottom. She wore these all the time!! She loved to go thrifting!! She called it "junking"!! I am now a grandmother to 7 grands!! Watching this video sparked this memory of my grandmother and her reimagining thrifted men's shirts. Thank you for this!!

Definitely share these wonderful stories with your kids and grand kids!

She looks adorable in her dresses, she's very lucky to have you as her mom.

What a cute idea with the shirt to dress project. Find one for Josh and her to match!

If the straps are problematic, or if she fusses with the bows too much, maybe shorten the straps, use iron on Velcro for the closure, and just sew a cute button on top! Snaps could also be another option. I love your creativity with this project!

I agree, sew those buttons down! Love your creativity on using the shirts, how fun! Your ice coffee drink looks absolutely delightful! Thank you for the idea!

I love watching you sew . This is the way my mom made dresses for me. Always used a favorite dress and copied it. Perfect.

Evonnie wiping the mirror 😆 she gets me every time! I just love her

Jayna's robe 😍 so pretty. Loved the opening. The music was perfect. Love the pasta bar idea, and that cold brew looks delicious.

Another great episode loved the pasta bar idea I think I might do that this weekend when we have friends coming over for the afternoon. Loved the sewing but as I cannot even so on a button I don’t think I’ll try that one but loved seeing your daughter show off her new dresses. Have a good week and already looking forward to the next one.

Megan💜 your videos always have a way of uplifting me and i’m excited to watch while my toddler naps! thank you 💜💜💜💜

This morning I was thinking how I would love for you to post a sewing video!! And you did!! Yay! Perfect motivation for my sewing pile.

What a clever idea ... making little dresses/jumpers from men's shirts. Very clever of you. Evonnie is a great little model too - such a cutie. Love the pasta bar idea and having the kiddos participate in making their own combination. Take care!

I love the dresses! I have had two of my husband's shirts in my sewing studio just waiting on the time to make my 4 year old granddaughter a couple dresses. I love making things for her. Evonnie is so precious! That backpack is so cute!

I love your sewing vlogs! I love to sew and I always enjoy watching someone else who also enjoys it! I also love that it isn’t just all sewing and instructional but your real life too. I was looking forward to this all week, thanks!

Not too mention I love your sewing idea! You are so creative!

Hi Megan~ Coming from someone who can only sew buttons back on a shirt I am completely blown away how you made Evonnie's jumpers. What talent and imagination you have!!!!!! 👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻

What a wonderful idea of making jumpers out of men's shirts. You have great ideas. I love to watch your children play and love to watch what you fix for lunches and dinner.

Sewing is my favorite hobby right now!!! I'm not the greatest at it but I do love it so I can't be that bad! lol This is such a creative fun idea! Evonnies dress is beautiful and I love the backpack idea!!! I grew up sewing with my grandmother and I'm so thankful I can operate a sewing machine and usually figure things out for myself! Thanks for sharing megan! I'm totally addicted to your videos right now, you and the other mennonite moms LOLOLOL!!!!!

These intros have been so lovely and peaceful to watch lately! Love it❤️

The dresses look amazing on her! I love the idea just because I always love a good way to repurpose items.

I did the same thing when I started making clothing for my niece. Buttons were so much work so I used my husbands old button downs and made cute dresses for her. For the top portion I did smocking to help keep the dress up, along with straps. They all came out so cute, some of my nieces favorite pieces when she was little. Her all time favorite item I made her was a cape style jacket 🥰. Now I have my own daughter and I cannot wait to start making her dresses 🥰🥰🥰

You're such an amazing mom and person! Love the intro you did, very artistic. You're such an inspiration and I love all the content you put out. Thank you!

I love the leg action when the baby was ready for more oatmeal!! I agree with sewing the buttons down.. there is zero reason to leave it open and it is more modest this way LOVE the dress!!

Whenever I watch your sewing videos I feel filled with inspiration! You’re such a fun mom!

Love your sewing vlogs. I have two kids under 3 and I don't know how you find the time to make such cute pieces. 😊. Your videos inspire me to just "get it done".

Evonnie's jumpers turned out so cute. It was a brilliant idea to use men's shirts. I used to buy little denim skirts for my daughter and use some cotton print fabric to add a ruffle to the bottom of the skirt for added length. Then I;d make a matching tie from the fabric to serve as a little belt. It's so fun to make clothes for little girls. Going back to school also made me think that I always sent my daughter to school with little bike shorts under her dresses and skirts for modesty sake. I'm going to use the pasta bar idea for a company meal. My health limits me and a pasta bar would be an easy, but fun meal. I love your videos. Tfs

Great job Megan 👏 on an excellent vlog! It was the best one yet. So calming. I will be watching it again. I enjoy your vlogs while I'm cooking dinner.

Evonnie is such a little sweetheart. Little man loves his food lol, he’s one healthy baby. I could watch you all day with your children. Your so talented!

The beginning was so peaceful, loved it! What a neat idea to make Evonnie dresses out of shirts!!!! So cute!!!

The shirt dresses are adorable!! Backpack turned out great! Love the beginning of this one. Very nice! TFS ❤️

That's genius! And definitely use the fabric you don't like the least and then move forward. I always say a little prayer 🙏 before doing a sewing project. I'm so happy to see someone from our generation still using a sewing machine and making their own clothes.

You are so talented! I can’t wait to see how this dress turns out!!

Thanks Megan for sharing another great video! I have been a long time subscriber of your wonderful You Tube Channel. Thanks for being such a wonderful blessing and Godly encouragement for not only me but also to so many women throughout our world. God’s continued blessings from our family to yours from Australia! xxxx

The dresses and backpack turned out so cute!!! Great ideas for lunch too

You are so creative and talented. Your Mommie ways are so beautiful. Thank you for such good parenting and high morals which is so needed to be on display in this day we are living in

Love love loving your content!!!💖👏🏼 The little dress design was so fun and such a great idea. I want to learn how to sew. My grandma used to sew all of our uniforms for school. She was a master and I regret not learning more from her!

Megan, you are such an inspiration and your lifestyle is a whole motivation! 🤍

Love the dresses 😍 I do a little sewing when I can and love it. I may need to use this idea for my little sisters and hopefully one day my daughter/s

See those buttons down! Love the dresses & back pack. Your little one is so happy! Loved the outdoor time too.

Great idea! You are sew creative. I love that your children have so much home time with you as well. I always wondered how my mom could make me a new dress and take care of the house while I was at school and she was home with three other kiddos. You've solved the mystery. I love sewing on cotton and yes I would sew the button placket closed. Also you might mention to other thrifters to be sure and read the fabric content of men's shirts when you are choosing them. 100% cotton can take a hot iron. Blended fabrics not so much. Thanks for all your videos and your time.

What a great idea making dresses out of shirts. Definitely agree with stitching up the button area; great idea for so many reasons.

I love the idea of using a kettle to boil water for simple syrup. Thank you!

Oh megen, those dresses came out cute!!!! Oh i love the buffalo black plaid one! Very cool idea

I first thought the plaid was so ugly but when you made the dress it was my favorite. It's beautiful !!!! You are very talented. Evonnie is a pretty little girl with a great mommy. Be blessed Meghan.

Yes, you have to be able to picture it in a finished project. My cousin Jayna taught me that. She'd pick out the weirdest looking fabric and it would turn out beautiful!

Love love the dresses, pasta bar idea and how super cute is her book bag!!💗💗

Those little girl dresses from men's shirts were adorable. I'm not a great sewer, but I have made throw pillow covers from old shirts and the button detail made them special. So yay, keep being inventive. I am older than you, I am not a Mennonite, I don't necessarily dress modestly...but you are an influencer to me. I always look forward to a Megan Fox post. 🥰

Great job on the dresses! Shes so dear! Accomplishing a sewing project is so satisfying😁

Such a fun video! I enjoyed these projects. The dresses and backpack were all so cute!!

Thanks for giving me the ideas for my little lady!! And I Love your positive outlook on life!! You encourage me alot!! God bless you!! Keep up the good work!! Hi from Guatemala!!🙂

What a beautiful family. Wish i had small children again to use some of your ideas! But they live 3,000 miles away! However I do think I am going to try my hand at the shirt dress for a friends daughter. I enjoy your channel so much. ❤️

Such lovely morning music 🎶🤍 lovely video today, Megan!! Right up my alley!! 🤍

WOW! You are so talented! Is there anything you can't do? Your children are beautiful! Good luck to your daughter when she starts school.

Definitely a genius idea with the shirts I love it!!

Megan you did an amazing job. It brought back memories of when my mom made my dresses and smocks for school when I was Evonnies age. I do a lot of paper crafts and I love to decorate. My cousin's are the sewers and quilters in the family. My grandmother's when they were still alive they were sewers as well. I wish I picked up sewing. I don't have any kids of my own and have come with the terms it wasn't in gods plans,I'm in my late 40ish lol! But we have lots of small children in the family and love spoiling them all I am also a Auntie for the first time and absolutely loving it. I look forward to Thursdays and Honey Homemaker vlogs, recipes and tours of Lancaster. I frequent with my family often and can't waite to try some of the coffee places you suggested, I love the corner coffee shop but would love to try alternatives, my mom and I love lattes. Thank you for the suggestions and I have gotten items from your shop as well as Cocalico. I have turned my cousins on to your vlogs as well and they love watching. I love the plaid dress the second one is awesome.😊

Awww the dresses are so adorable! I need to learn to sew lol I’ve had a sewing machine sitting in my closet for years now. (I also have 3, only they’re 5 and under) And yes I definitely feel like I’m living a second childhood with all my kiddos!

Actually really genius! If my daughter was still little I would totally do it. It's going to save you so much money!

I love Evonnie's new dresses. So cute and so easy to make! You could put a chunky sweater under the roomier flannel dress to fill in some space until Evonnie grows into it. Should she outgrow the length before the width, I suggest adding gathered cotton lace to lengthen it. With winter boots, she will be adorable! And you will be using the dress for two years of fall/winter seasons. Love your content and "Honey, I'm Homemaker". Your cousin has become very comfortable speaking to us quite quickly. Kudos to you both!

Great video, I loved it all. I love to sew and so I was doing that in my mind right along with you. The plaid flannel is just that way each time if you wash a flannel shirt it acts differently after it comes out of the dryer. LOL ........at least that is my experience. I would love to see the plaid colored one Evonnie liked, with her red hair it would be gorgeous I believe. You inspired me with tons of ideas with my closet of fabrics to do someday, so someday is getting closer as fall and winter close in. LOL Love the feeling of this vlog with the kids swinging and the music, it was so delightfully genuine and easy to enjoy the kids in nature just "being" a child. You and Josh have beautiful children. The eyes are so so dramatic. Blessed you are indeed! I know Evonnie will remember "Mommy" sewing her dresses......too sweet and so innocent are our babies.

Evonne is so adorable. I hope she enjoys school. The boys are cute too❤️❤️❤️

So cute! Both the dresses and especially that very smiling girl!

Those dresses are the coolest idea ever! I may need to try this

I love your videos. They are so peaceful. Thanks for sharing them.

Megan, so smart so creative with the $2 man shirts. Also love the pasta bowls. Love your channel thank you as always for sharing your life with us🤗🤗😇😇

What a fun video I always love seeing (your) sewing projects. You might search for pillowcase dresses, they are about the same but a little more adjustable, and you could definitely recycled a shirt, which I loved by the way! Wish I could find that great deals in the thriftshops...

Loved the sewing idea with men's shirts. I took my Mom's shirts that were similar and made them into aprons for my sisters and my nieces to have a memory of her. And also I made some little girl dresses out of pillowcases! And I would use ribbon or some kind of trim for the little shoulder ties. Sometimes you can find really pretty pillowcases at the thrift store!💕

my MiL made pillowcase dresses for my first daughter when she was little and I LOVED it!

This was a fun video. Thank you for sharing about making dresses for your sweet daughter!

You could always use some of the leftover material from the shirts to make a matching hairbow or kerchief! 🙂

yes! i told my motherinlaw years ago we should do that for my (then toddler) daughter with her grandpas shirts ❤️ as a memory keepsake after he passed. Pinterest had some ideas at the time but probably not patterns.

I really love your videos! They are uplifting and heartfelt! ❤

Great idea, I often use shirts old duvet covers or sheets. Fabric is expensive. Use the offcuts for patchwork or dolly clothes

I LOVE these shirt dresses!! What a brilliant idea!!

Great ideA using mens shirts!! My mom use to give me an old dress or shirt, skirt, robe and encourage me to come up with something made from it!! Oh my goodness my mom has been gone 50 years and you brought out all of those precious memories!! Those really were the days!!!!

Clever idea with the shirts. Some spray starch can help tame limp fabric like the darker brown one. If that one is too big you could add some tucks, pleats or maybe even a piece of elastic at the top on the back of the dress.

The dresses are so adorable and I love the backpack idea!!

So cute! She looks adorable! You are so creative!!!

My mom made two shirts out of one of my dads shirts for me with Peter Pan Collars for school they had 3/4 sleeves I was so lucky that mom could sew so well.

Evonnie so adorable..I can't believe she's in Kindergarten... All your children are so cute . How creative with the jumpers.. They're so cute!!!

She looks darling. The dresses are so cute. I remember being little and in bed at night. I loved hearing the sound of the sewing machine humming along into late evening. My mom sewed in a room right next to my bedroom. When I would try on clothes she would stand me up on the coffee table. Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Again, another good video. 👍🏻

Similar here, a fun memory.

I love your videos Megan. I always sew the front of my button dresses if I don't need them! keep it from getting caught on things! I always sew, just to the end of the buttons, and leave the little 3 inch gap at the bottom.

Megan I really love watching your videos. Your my favorite utuber! Thank you so much for sharing all you share. Your family, cooking, sewing and so many other things. I like to sew as well just not clothing. More like hand bags for gifts and such. But want to expand and a little more In sewing. You inspire me to pick up my sewing. 😊 May God Bless you and your family!

Hi Meagan love your videos....the jumpers turned out so cute... loved how you made them from shirts. Just an awesome video las always I watch them all❤️

Making dresses from shirts is a great idea! I would have sewn the buttons down as well. I've even done that on some of my blouses in the past so I don't have to worry about buttons coming undone.

What a great idea to use men's shirts! To make skinnier straps, maybe make bias binding? Great job!

You could add a pleat in the center back on the plaid one to make it fit smaller, then remove the pleat when you need more shoulder room for heavier tops underneath.

Thank you for the heads up on the Buydeem company! I've been looking for a travel pot of some kind that I can use in a hotel room instead of expensive dinners out. Ordering one.

I used to see my little girl dresses out of her older brothers wrangler western dress shirts. I love this and all your decorating ideas.

Enjoyed the sewing days.....Great work. Here in the UK kids start school properly at age 4/5 depending on when born and wear a school uniform until they leave secondary (high school) at 18. So, while expensive, we don't have the worry of their own clothes getting ruined and all the kids look the same. We don't have to provide text books or excerise books either as the schools provide those, we don't pay for those at all, all we have to do is provide pens, pencils, erasers and pencil sharpeners. Hope Evonie enjoys starting school, makes friends and enjoys herself!

I just turned my dining room into a sewing set up to finish four Christmas quilts I’m making for my grandkids. So they have something to remember me by.

Megan, this is genius! Definitely going to try this.

Cute shirt dresses! This would be a meaningful project for anyone looking for a way to to remember a loved one who has passed away.

The music is great,and so was the jumper ! The children are growing.. Time doesn't stand still! Thanks for sharing!😯😯😯🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴

I keep cooked pasta in the fridge. It's good for at least three days. I've known it to be fine on day 5, when it's not been eaten before then👌 No need to use the water, heat and time cooking the pasta fresh each day, if you don't want to🙏💕

Lol, sounded crazy, turned out genius!! Great job!! Love your channel! ☺️

Love them both! I think they are both great. One idea for the bow issue would be to use overall fasteners. They would still be adjustable for growth but less distracting. Also, for the wider back on the second one, you could put a dart in the middle. That would take it up but still be removable for growing.

I love your peach colored top, Megan!! You look so adorable!

I really Love how the dresses turned out, I maybe would have made the straps just a bit thinner.but gonna try this with my grand daughter

I love using men shirts for all kinds of projects... your sun dresses were adorable 😍 you can also use the shirts to make designer pillows covers for interior design; the wool and pendleton shirts, etc are great... of course leave the buttons as the front of the pillow. Have fun....

That's amazing Megan, you've got a God given talent to sew.
