What to do about a breach of contract?
Via email, myself and a customer started talking about t-shirts she wanted (total 75)and sent me the design. I in turn sent her an attachment with a mock up along with prices. Totaling $750. Never once did I mention how the shirts were going to be made. She had a PO created from her finance department at the school she works at. On Thursday I spoke with the finance person, she emailed me a copy of the PO and confirmed that it had been approved by the 3 people and she would submit to district that day or the next and paid to me next week. Since I had a PO box number, I went ahead and bought the supplies and made the shirts. I delivered the shirts Tuesday and got an email that she didn’t like them. Said she won’t pay. Does my customer have to still pay?

It depends upon WHY she did not like them - did they not conform to the design? Is there something about the shirts that does not comply with the terms of your agreement? Or did she just change her mind? You simply don't provide crucial information. However, if you think you have a meritorious case, that is what small claims court is for. File your claim and a Judge will decide. Alternately, review the entire matter with a local attorney and see what their advice is. Good luck
