is that "expensive?" i figure with buying the supplies and the labor put in, the cost is worth it to have it professionally done.

I agree with you, but when you don't got it, you can't spend it. You have to resort to craftiness, as I often did in college also.

yeah, it was ok to wear NYU stuff to a degree, but more students wore other college stuff. but i think that is because lots of ppl transfer in from other schools... and those sweatshirts are expensive!

if she has $ to spend on crafts... she should save up a little more and just get the professional stitched letters. i dont know any guy who would wear a handmade/craft lettered shirt.

but hey, that again may be regional/campus difference.

To get some letters made (which are just going to be stitched and cut by someone else) it would cost me about 30+ for a tshirt and about 50+ for a hoodie.

to make it myself, a tshirt costs about 10 bucks, i can get all the fabric i need for about 7, and then i'd need a pair of scissors and a sewing machine (which i already have access to).....and my letters would look just as good as getting them professionally done. You make it sound like anything i make would look like a second grader made them. I think not.

I find that insane.
We have 2 stores on campus who do them for way cheaper. (One sews, the other has iron-ons (which are obviously cheaper)). At the place that sews letters, sweatshirts are like $30 (Unless you bring in your own clothes.. Like what I did. Then it's cheaper)
