I've done it, actually the only jerseys I have are ones I've made. (That is until I finally break down and buy one of the TE jerseys this year, I love flourishes!)
I have the green pepper pattern, but found one I like better from a company called Jalie- you can find the pattern on the Seattle Fabric site - here's the URL. http://www.seattlefabrics.com/jalie_...ghts%20Pattern Cap sleeve, two pockets, side panels. Really pretty easy to do, the worst part is the slippery fabric issues - the zipper installation was different than I've ever done before, but went well. Also pretty easy to adapt the pattern if you want to make changes.
I made a pair last year, and will do it again this year - one for me and one for my the guy I ride with and he wears it as often as he wears the ones from his past teams so I suppose he can't tell the difference...
Finding the wicking fabric is always the challenge for me. I haven't tried ordering from Seattle Fabrics, but that's the plan for this years jerseys.
I haven't made shorts, although I have found that you can order just chamois on-line, I can't remember where right now but will see if I can find it.
Let me know what you come up with.
