i will agree with the others that the fabric was off grain when you cut these out.
Here is a link to a wonderful video on You Tube on how to straighten the grain:
FD.50 Layout, cutting and marking: Camp shirt - West Valley College (the person demonstrating is Karen Kurtz)
A long time ago now and whilst I was still at school in order to straighten the fabric two of us held the fabric on opposite corners and gave a really huge tug several times and this did have an effect. However I appreciate we do not always have someone else to hand to help with this, so do try Karen Kurtz method However first may I suggest you pull a thread or two out along the non selvedge edge first and that will then show you when the fabric is laid on the table whether it is straight or not- this can be quite illuminating. I know it can sometimes be a pain to try and pull a thread out, use a pin to help you but so well worth it in the long run.
