it's not really that hard, i've done 4 pieces already. although it is not insanely cheap, fabric will set you back about $30 for one hoodie depending on where you buy. look at the crewneck tutorial in the hoodie cult, and it should give you a pretty good idea of how to make one. pinning the sleeves and ribbing is the hardest part, it's really quite simple if you know how to sew.
