Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

You can say I do both. I buy stuff, go correspond with my costume. Like for example, my witch hat. I already had the outfit picked out, and I'm using the same blouse as I did last year for my pirate costume. Except I'm wearing a skirt instead of pants this year, and a taffeta instead of a bandana.
So I buy the costume, and I make it. If that makes any sense. Or rather, I buy the necessary "ingrediants" for my costume. And sometimes, I recycle old parts of a costume for something completely different.
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second...
