I normally see what i got on hand or if someones getting rid of something i could use. i do sometimes make my own cosplays or alter them but i have a costume in mine imma make completely by hand once i get the supplies and material. im making a white dress piece for one of the cosplays im doing since i have almost everything else for it that i can alter -just needs green material as well-

I wish i could make all of my cosplays myself, But i would butcher the cloth in 10 seconds if i had to make anything difficult. Besides, I'm 13, so i dont really have money, or the time to make a costume. I wish i did though, i always feelstupid when people go. HOLY CRAP THAT COSTUME LOOKS LIKE IT TOOK FOR-EVERRR~~! 8D... and i had it made for me, or bought most of it 8(

i try to make as much of a cosplay i can my self and only when i cant make something do i ask my friends and family to help me. then if non of us can do it then i buy off the internet( well i say that but i dont make wigs ^^ tho that would be good).

i make as much as i can but its not that good but it make me feel happy to have someone to cosplay as dispite the crapiness

My friends make mine for me ^_^

I almost always make them, unless I can adapt e.g. spaghetti strap tops or dress shirts as a working base. I guess I could blame my own impatience on that one, but also that I'm not confident I can make that stuff myself well. I only made two costumes up to date, so that explains a lot.

I do both but i only finished one cosplay which was l wasnt very hard XP But know im fixxing up riku's i need material though to make the rest T_T

the last two cosplays I had someone make them for me. But I want to start learning how to make my own stuff ^^ *good luck for the sewing machine*

I WANT TO DRESS SPHERE MYSELF. Think of the efficiency!

I wish I could totally dress sphere myself. Oh god.

I make my every thing from scratch. It feel's more personal that way. We also don't use patterns, we sketch them out, and then make our own.

Last cosplay I bought all of it offa the internet. This cosplay, though, i'm making the whole thing by hand. thoguh, I might be buying sum stuff with it. Who knows.
