Have you ever looked at a men's button up shirt and thought, "Gee wouldn't this make a great DRESS?" Well I did and so I decided to make this week's sewing vlog all about this process. I truned 4 identical button up shirts into what I am calling a "shirt-waste" dress. So come along with me and watch me upcycle shirts into a dress.

The problem with JJ is that I got addicted and started spending actual $$. 😟
Hi so I have a question in regards to your dropped pin.
Why don't you have a magnet nearby to pick up the pin?
Ok thanks Hugs
Stephanie, I love love loooove your videos. But could you just, maybe, leave your written comments a bit longer on the screen? I do understand what you say, but the writing just goes by a little bit too fast. Too quick? Whatever. Thank you! Greetings from Germany.
I second that request. Just don't want to miss any funny moments
I stop the video and rewind !!! 😂
@@m.maclellan7147 I often still can’t see them and just give up after the third time.
Same here!!!❤❤
I have trouble trying to catch it to pause it to read it. You are not the only one who does this
Do you know the feeling when you hunt down your fallen pin successfully -hurray- and then realise that you dropped a plain pin and retrieved one with a glasshead??
Magnets, have a magnet close by. Works great.
@@TheQuiltingLunchLadyI realized this when watching her put a pin on the magnetic holder and then hunt for the lost pin the way I do. This will be life changing…
@@TheQuiltingLunchLady Magnet on a stick! They're like $3 at hardware stores, are extendable, and will save so many toes!
LOL
YES
"that's as straight as I am" for some reason that joke never gets old to me. it also never fails to make a certain type of people cringe 🤣
Particularly when you give them a blank, confused look and say "What? You know how crooked my back has been lately...."
Honestly, keep 'em guessing, even AFTER you Come Out.
Most of my kids are LGBT+, and so we have a running joke when it comes to saying the word "straight" about anything. The response is never the same which is why the joke lives on.
Giggles
And canonically, neither is Deadpool. ;)
My favorite is "I can't do anything straight" (usually about my terrible first-try parking jobs)
Hey this is unrelated but I'm a pharmacist and you should discuss newer nonsedating antihistamines for allergic reactions. For a long time we thought that Benadryl would act faster to immediately stop allergic reactions, however newer research is now saying this is untrue! the second generation antihistamines (Claritin, Reactine, etc) act as fast as Benadryl for non anaphylactic allergic reactions, and cause way less sedation. The obligatory: You should of course always discuss this with your actual pharmacist, based on your actual meds and medical history, but it's something not a lot of people know about, and you could save yourself a lot of unnecessary grogginess. Worth a chat.
I have really appreciated the new quick-dissolve claratin tablets, which take the same amount of time to activate regardless how much is in my stomach, unlike the pills. It works great for food allergies for me.
This is great info! I'm curious; are you hearing discourse yet in your sector about quercetin? I picked it up from the veterinary scene a few years back, and it seems to be having a glowup moment in covid-related research, but it's also still oddly obscure at the same time, at least as far as I've seen in human med. I'd be fascinated to hear what if any murmurs or narratives may be bubbling up amongst you underrated pharm wizards
Love the scalloped edge at the bottom! Genius.
Same ! Looks a bit like a flower 🌼 🌸
Yes! Easiest hem ever!
When you get a Stephanie Canada upload notification while watching another Stephanie Canada video 👌🏼 Easiest add to queue ever
And people say sewing is "just" a "hobby"....Observe the Great Stephanie's creativity, ingenuity, geometry, math, problem solving skills!!! Last time I checked, these are life skills! Good job!!! Really well done! Love it!!
I second that! Plus teaching in such a fun way!
Stephanie. MAGNETS for pin retrieval!
and look for "magnetic broom" for the industrially upgraded version.
Yes!
Yea, as the tires of many a contractor have been saved from stray roofing nails by The Magnet, so shall thy feet be saved from pins!!
"Are you uncomfortable yet?" you ask when I have legitimately stopped breathing as I pray for you not to cut yourself or the clothes underneath because I have done both of those things in a similar situation...
For real though, this turned out super cute! I love how many elements of the shirt became extra fun design elements of the dress. Adding this idea to my ever-growing list of projects to try someday.
I have a high powered magnet on a telescoping wand that lives within reach of both my sewing machine and my cutting/pinning space. It's from a hardware store and can lift like 5lbs or some nonsense. Absolutely overkill but also priceless.
I drop a pin, grab it and get it before I forget about it. It also lets me pick up any other random metal item I drop. Marking pens, seam rippers, thimble, shears, bobbins, pattern weights (aka large metal washers), even entire embroidery hoops (get them by the little screw). I've slowly collected more tools with metal components just because I can pick them up without bending over.
This is in part because I have no sensation in my feet and have previously been hospitalized twice for severe infections after walking around for months without being aware there were multiple pins embedded in my feet. My first magic magnet wand was actually a gift from an er nurse tired of seeing me. Less of an issue now that I spend most days in my wheelchair but wheelchair tires like pins even less than feet so still a critically important habit to maintain.
Your bright printed dresses are becoming a signature, particularly the fandom ones and we love it! I’m particularly in love with keeping the pockets/plackets/hems intact, especially the way there’s a subtle scallop to the skirt, such a cute detail 💛
this was a joy. filmmaker, musical satirist, sewist and standup COMEDIANE! (sitdown Canadian?) thank you......
What IS with Goodwill and the ever-increasing prices?!?? Personally I’m a big fan of the little church basement thrift stores in my area…which are unfortunately a dying breed 😢BUT they’ve got the best prices.
Such a big fan of your channel! ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊
Goodwill is a for-profit business.
@@cherylgowadia9739 Which doesn't explain their increasing prices since prices in a lot of other stores have sort of leveled out or are at least not increasing drastically anymore
Guerrilla sewing at its best !! You ROCK !!
I also sew down plackets on shirts because I am a DD size chest and when I try on a shirt that gaps in the front I say it is suffering from blousesus gapposus which is a common disease amongst front buttoned shirts and blouses. Lol😂
I hear your pain.. Try a G cup.
@@romeoslover817 ❤️❤️
I'm the same. I either sew or rely on those tiddily safety pins to 'mind the gap'. It matters not which bra l wear, there's always some gapping, just as the sleeves are NEVER long enough!
@@katehirst6046 🧷 ❤️
Target has started putting optional inside buttons in the bosom-y area of plus size dresses and shirts and it’s a game changer.
This is one of my favorite videos so far! Laughed so much! If I had known that shirt existed, I would have gotten one for my middle kid. He and I bond over beer, cursing, and Deadpool. He's a cop and I'm a psych prof (part-time), but the love between a mother and son overcomes a lot. Thanks, Stephanie, for making my evening. Now I am off to my sewing room to see what chaos I can brew up.
That curving the bias tape with your iron sorcery is MONEY. Simple yet genius. 🤯 Also, you are hilarious. ❤
The dress turned out adorably!!! I love how you used the hems of the shirts to create the big beautiful scallops.The red zip is incredible. If I saw you in public I would probably embarrass us both by shrieking with delight.
Ryan Renolds / Deadpool would approve. This was an awesome vid.
Sometime between November 2020 and today, I was at one of the 2 1/2 walmarts (2 superstores and a neighborhood market) in my local vicinity… I was delighted to find at least 6 (possibly 7) white mens long sleeve dress shirts (97% cotton and 3% spandex) all in an XL… for $2.00 each… TWO DOLLARS!… I now know what I must do to them!!
The amount of chaos in this video is perfection
You embraced the chaos today. Looks like you had a lot of fun with filmography too. I think the shirt-hem is my favorite part
Great job!
I just made a dress shirt out of 2 skirts my fiance found at Target on clearance so everything is coming full circle.
I come to this channel for the button on button action!
If you had left the sleeves on the skirt you could have closed the cuffs and made lots of really big pockets!
Many many years ago I did the 3 shirts into one to make myself a warm flannel night gown for camping. It worked very well for late night bathroom trips to the outhouse.
How can your nearsies and dearsies bear to let you out of their sight??? You're so cute to watch and they're so generous to share your sunny disposition! Also your casual "derring do" ( I'm 59, I am allowed to say it ) is very confidence making to this Mama. Thank you, pink spot❤
This was my favorite sewing video of all time. From the classic music to the humor to the free winging cutting of fabric that made me hold my breath. It was great.
Once again, the “adoorable” dress. The one you made is cute.
You cutting into that shirt while it was on your body with a mic and another garment underneath is REAL BRAVEEEEE lol (PS IT TURNED OUT SO CUTE)
Button on button action is a very Deadpool thing to say.
I remember my mother making my play clothes out of old shirts back in the 1950s. It waa really popular here in the UK in WW2 to use old shirts for dresses. Also making skirts out of old trousers.
I love the scallops in the bottom hem - and POCKETS!!!!!!! Good sized ones and cute tiny ones. What fun.
This was a fun video! Once the left side of the collar is tucked under like the right, it will be perfection. Thank you for sharing your Deadpool-approved-chaotic-content!
I love your humor, whit, sarcasm and creativity!!!
Well, that’s the height of chaos sewing indeed. And you make the dress happen. Well done!
Very CUTE!!! I love how the shirt tails gave the hem a tulip effect.
This level of chaos and fun was exactly what I needed at this very moment. And that Deadpool pattern is soooooo cute. And the dress is so pretty and I want one too. If I had the time to make something like that...
Yay! A really cool sundress! Great job! You can always make the seam allowance skinnyer ! That is my tip. Just go for it! When you are using clothes to make something new, do what you want! I make it 1/4 inch and just zig zag everything after and you have a secure seam! You really are creative and do some awesome things!! I hope that you are having a great summer!
You are hysterical!!! And creative, talented, &entertaining!!
I haven't sewn anything other than plushes in YEARS and only then it was for the SCA. I am enamored with 50s swing dresses that will match my Gothic 50s House Witch Cryptid thing I seem to have going on, and I'm scared to death to try sewing again because it WILL have to be by hand since the only machine we have is my MILs heavy duty Singer that is in desperate need of servicing. Anyway, I have been binging your vids and while I don't always know the terminology, things like this give me courage to try...now I just have...to...do...that...*nervous laugh* Thanks for the inspiration!
There are plenty of DIY servicing for older machines on TH-cam!
Older singers are pretty easy to service yourself. They usually just need cleaning and oiling. Lots of great vids to show you how on TH-cam.
I am in awe! No pattern used (sorta)! I think Marshmallow needs a matching doggy scarf!
I think a matching scarf and a dog toy taco !? 🌮
Was shocked she didn't add a taco to the reveal 😅
@m.maclellan7147 Oh yeah, a toy taco 🌮 !
Hi Stephanie 👋 Beautiful 👗 dress. The fit is spot on and you are a very inspirational woman. I enjoy your channel. Thank You for sharing your videos ❤ Blessings!
Stephanie, this is such a cute & creative dress! What’s not to love… cute print, cotton, sun dress, creative use of old shirts. Chefs kiss!😘 ❤
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
SPECIALLY WITH THE TACO TRUCK PURSE. SWEET WEEPING BABY CABLE, WHAT A GREAT FIND!
you could make a dress out of sticks and leaves, I’d watch you make it and enjoy it. You are the best ever!!
I love that when you discussed the skirt options, your first hand was right under the Hello Kitty behind you. So know I'm imagining Hello Kitty as one of the sewing gremlins on your shoulder, whispering chaotic sewing ideas to you. 😅
Ohhhh that seam ripper on the button...I envisioned you slipping and driving it into your cuticle 😲 🫣
Newbie to your vids. Awesome 👏 Commando style sewing at its finest! Reminiscent of my grandmother sewing beautiful clothes out of virtually any old items… curtains, bed linens, old clothes etc…
Not me already sitting with my morning tea playing June's journey hehe
Look at you freeform a dress! It looks great 🎉
The sleeves made great pockets! What a cool idea though.
Gurl…..that is the best dress you have ever made on your channel. It’s perfect!! The only thing I would add is some Deadpool buttons on the front. I tell everyone to get a telescoping magnet to help find pins and needles that fall to the floor. Or you can glue some flat magnets to some flip flops and just walk around.
I have a flashlight/telescoping magnet that is perfect for finding pins before my feet do. It was a 2-pack, which was even better.
I did something similar where I turned a couple of old pairs of jeans into a skirt. Having...substantial...thighs, I tend to wear out the inner seams quicker than any other part of the pant. So I cut the legs off of the top part of the jeans (keeping the pockets, zipper, etc.) and then having cut down past the worn crotch parts of each pant leg, created a gored skirt from the pant legs by sewing them back onto the upper part of the pants. Presto! Skirt, formerly pants! It's one of my favorite skirts now. I love upcycling projects! Your dress turned out super cute also!
Oh my gosh! The sleaves on the skirt! I just can't! LOL!!! I loved the finished dress! So you!
LOVE this!!! I'm getting ready to mix up some men's shirts into (a) a puffy-sleeved blouse and (b) a coordinating button-up vest.
I feel like we might be kindred spirits! I love this dress! I could see a small black tie , ooh or a bow tie attached on the front of the bodice , like it would be worn at the collar. I love the creativity so much!!
I love how you have a vision and just make it happen, setbacks be damned 🤘🏻
That is ridiculously cute (yes, cute in the most ridiculous way)! Love it. You may think the purse was the perfect accessory (and it waaassssss), but imo those pearl dangle earrings REALLY sold it. ;) The zipper hits the perfect note, too. Wheeee!
I love this chaos gremlin side showing me how to do the thing I thought about doing, but haven't ! Thanks a bunch !
I actually gasped when you started cutting the shirt on yourself, I loved this video ❤
I love how this dress came out! It is lovely and has given me a few ideas for a couple shirts my husband doesn't wear anymore.
Perfect dress to us "hot flashers" !!! LOL
I love the way you used the collar as - another type of collar!
Loooooove this dress from mens shirts!!! You never cease to amaze me with the sarcasm, and I laugh sooooooooo hard. You must have a Steph's sit and sew, we would flock there, or I would.....Thanks for the belly laughs.....✌💚
I find it fascinating that you can envision this and make it happen!
I especially like the "scalloped" hem.😊
Omg I swear I squeaked when you made the frist cut. Be bold, My friend 🎉 I'll watch from a far and cheer you on.
😂❤
Just watched the dropped pin escapade, and was reminded of the time my mom found a sewn machine needle the had way! She had basically flipped on the floor and screamed. She had found a machine needle rammed into the space where your knee bends, so right between the cap and leg bone. It was pointy side out. Went to the ER and on X-ray one of the nurses actually knew it was a singer needle! Mom had given that one away 6 years earlier!! My teen self has a lot of fun with Mom high on Vicodin that night! She told everyone she was making a porcupine costume for Halloween.
Another idea, washable markers. My daughter has a bunch, she won't miss one.
Turned out better than I expected!
WOW that came out great… and thanks for the entertainment sewing!
Thanks Stephanie for another inspiring, empowering (no need for perfection) and very funny video xxx
That is absol-flippin’ adorable!! 😍
I admire your talent, even when I can't agree with your taste or choices.
Loved your story telling! And humor! I was thinking this is what people did all throughout history. Remaking clothes. I don't sew but love your videos.
This is so heckin' cute! Now, I need to go find some matching shirts at my local Goodwill!
Oh this really suits you! And the scallop hem is genius. Have fun wearing it. 😄
Lol this turned out awesome! The shirt waste pun makes my day! 😂
Cute dress pattern. Sometimes, classic patterns are just the very idea of flattering dressing. Oh, the "shirt tail" hemming for the scallop edge is perfect. Saves a lot of time from sewing a straight hem. Oh, BTW, use a magnet to retrieve any dropped pins from the floor.
Stephanie that's a beautiful dress. I think you did a great job 👏👏👏👏
You're a fun gal Stephanie. Love the dress.
I know it’s going to be a fun time when you say it’s going to be chaos 😂
So cute! Love how the back zip is such a great accent color.
You Rock! I am afraid to try this on my own. You make it look easy...Very easy...If I only had the heart, the nerve, the brains.
Love it. And the scalloped hem. Amazing.
Another clever salvage video with wordplay? Brilliant!
Absolutely stellar! I love the scallop hem line!
I love your bloopers!!!! Love your channel and your wacky chaos creations!!
Totally love the scalloped hem 😊🎉
Coolest dress to date! ⚔️
That dress came out so cute.
The shirttail edges made for a cute hemline!
Very clever!! Love me some DeadPool!
Great chaos build!!
I find the more allergic I am, the less groggy I get with Benadryl. Sometimes I'll take half of one to figure out if a face explosion is allergy or starting a cold, if it stops and I'm fine, allergies, if I get kinda groggy, it wasn't allergies....
And my bunny wears the same expression when I'm sewing. If I ignore him long enough he starts chewing things he shouldn't, like my pantleg.
That turned out really cute, I especially liked the hemline using the curves from the bottom of the shirts!!
Girl, you are a hoot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was a lot of fun! I saw a skirt advertised Injune maybe 6 months ago and fell in lust with the fabric but they weren't selling yardage. So i bought a 6xl shirt and a 2xl one and i now have a pencil skirt (made from a pattern i self drafted on a course) and a shirt to make a set.
This dress is so stinking cute! Love the scalloped bottom.
Your process and editing is hilarious Thank you!
So cute! I love the scalloped hem.
