Ensure you are washing within the recommended 40-degree limit and avoid high heat drying. Pre-washing before cutting can also help mitigate shrinkage.
Seams are not as defined as expected
Check that you are using the correct needle and thread for cotton fabric. Ensure your sewing machine tension is properly set for a stable stitch.
