It takes a little practice to get good at sewing with knit fabrics, but the results are worth it. Find a simple t-shirt pattern--the common pattern manufacturers make them. 100% cotton interlock knit is the most comfortable, but a knit with some polyester in it is OK too, just not as comfortable and cool.

When sewing, you will need to use a stretch stitch or, if your machine doesn't have one, you will need to use a small zig-zag stitch. This way, when your shirt is stretched, the thread won't break. On certain seams, particularly ones that go with the grain of the fabric like the hem around the bottom, you will need to stabilize the fabric along the line that you are going to stitch. You can buy iron-on, tear away stabilizer at a fabric store. You will iron a strip of it all the way around the hem (or wherever), stitch the hem, then tear away the stabilizer, being careful not to rip the stitches. This will help keep the fabric from stretching when you sew, eliminating the wavy, stretched out look that some home-made knit garments have.

Making your own t-shirts can be rewarding, but I find it much easier and cheaper just to buy one.

I don't think so. It involves copyright issues. You can print something more common on your tshirt, for example, natural scenery. That is to say, you can not put something related to names or personal images on your tshirt.
