Replying to Making Your Own Clothing

Ok well I know basically every kid and his mother on NS has wanted to start a clothing company.

That's not really what I'm looking to do right away though. I'm just kind of looking in to making clothing for myself and a few friends, well, because I feel like I spend all my money on different clothes, so why not just learn to sew and make my own. It seems like it would be cheaper to me too.

My thoughts are this: If I make some simple hoodies or come up with like a catchy name, then I'll just make a few shirts and stuff for me and some friends. If other kids start to like the clothes over time and the word starts spreading around, then I'll gladly run with it and try to push it along into a business. If nothing like this ever happens then at least I'll have some sweet clothes for me and my buddy's to wear around.

Honestly I have no idea how hard it is to make clothes or what the process even is. It's really just an idea that popped into my head a few days ago, to make my own clothes.

I know a lot of you have done the same thing on here, so I'm just wondering if anyone could give me some tips on what to do to make my own clothes.

What do a lot of other small clothing companies do? Do they buy blanks and put their logo on it?

If anyone has any advice feel free to help out. If people think it's dumb and not worth it to make my own clothes let me know. I'm just looking to pick peoples brains who have had experience with this stuff already.
Thanks Guys.
