I have made several of a few of these. Now working on a quilt made with the shirts. Also have cut the long sleeves off short, hemmed the sleeves. Cut out pockets from sleeve pieces I have cut off, turned under edges and put these on each side of bottom of front of shirts. I have also folded back the cuff and let that be the top of the pocket. If shirt is to long, then I cut and hemmed it. I also cut off the neck to make it into a v-shape neckline and added a trim. I now have a scrub top for work.
