I see people here talking about replacing the original t shirt label with your own custom label. My question is how do you sew your label on??

You either need to know how to sew, or have someone sew them in.

I wouldn't do it on a trial and error basis.

It's not very expensive to pay someone to sew your labels in. 30 cents to 50 cents.

Try to get someone local so you dont have to worry about shipping cost. I went to the local cleaners and they were more than happy to do it.

I would try to find someone local.

Try placing an ad on craigslist. It worked for me. I got pretty good response. Toni tried the cleaners. That may work for you as well.

You don't know until you ask.

I live in a pretty small town, and we have alot of skilled folks all around town, not running out of store fronts. A lady across from my church makes custom bridal gowns out of her house. I think if I needed this service, I would be able to place an ad at the local grocery store (it's like our help wanted bulletin board, haha, small town) and find a very good seamstress to pay per piece. Alot depends on where you live. I hope you find someone you work well with.

Going rate at a factory in SoCal that specializes in this is .20 to remove the label (doesn't have to be tear away) and sew in two labels.
