I like making shirts, too. The best thing about sewing my own clothes is that I can pick the fabric I like, and no one else has the same exact clothes that I make! (What's the possibility of another person who bought the same fabric as I did having chosen the same pattern for a piece of clothes?)
Also, since I have short arms, if I make my own shirt, I don't have to deal with having to shorten my sleeves to fit me. I make that adjustment at the pattern stage, so everything I make with that pattern turns out well.
This one was a funky blue and green patterned shirt.
Below is a mock-turtle neck shirt made with a floral print knit fabric. I wore it out already, but it was good while it lasted. I like wearing a turtle neck or mock-turtle neck under my wool sweater so my skin does not get irritated.
The orange/red top was a nice summer sleeveless top made with a light, cotton fabric.
Below is a shirt I made for my husband. It's made with a rayon fabric and is comfortable on a hot day.

If you'd like to learn how to make an entire shirt or one step of the making (learn how to sew in the sleeves, etc.), you can take a sewing lesson from me.
