hope you ironed lightweight interfacing on before you cut ! makes it so much easier to cut. you might waste some interfacing, but it is easier than trying to do it after cutting on those goosey shirt fabrics.
good luck ! they look so great when done. and they are cherished by their owner.

Yes and no. Yes I cut before putting on interfacing, but not to the exact size I needed. I cut out the front of the t-shirt by cutting along the sides, around the sleeve seam, and around the collar. Not being precise. Just trying to get general piece out. I ironed and pressed the piece smooth. Then I cut out a piece of interfacing as wide as the piece of fabric and pressed it onto the back. And finally I trace and cut out my 16.5" square.
