I just wanted to check before I started
What do you guys think?
Have you read Bonnie Hunter's books on "Shirt tails", there are at least two books. Her system for cutting them into usable parts is referred to as "deboning" and has been featured in several quilting magazines. I am not a fan of interfacing unless it is something like "Mistyfuse", otherwise those sections feel like they are backed by metal.
I've been stockpiling men's long sleeved shirts in the largest sizes I can find in a local thrift store. Soon I must start deboning them. Most of the shirts I bought were in plaids or tropical prints.
