There's no shame in that, but really, my sewing isn't going to make my son stand out in a good way.</p> <p>I'll buy. I really wanted to make DS's costume this year, but we won't even be in the US for Halloween, so I am saving it for next year. I hope I can find someone to make it for us, because I don't know where I can buy a Swiss Guard costume. If someone can find it, then they get a gold star! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-282828 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:23:53 +0000 kakimochi 282828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can't sew, but i have been buying costumes for my LO at the thrift store these past years. they have a great big selection of all kinds of gently used costumes that I'm sure was only used a handful of times, if not just 1 time, and go for $3-5 apiece. granted if you have something specific in mind, it might be harder to find at the thrift store. this year we got her a tinkerbell costume that she didn't want to take off at the store when we put it on her to try on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-282503 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 07:36:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 282503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've come to terms with the expensive owl costume and I think I'll try to make a tutu and buy an orange onesie and DIY myself a fluffy pumpkin outfit. I've never made a tutu before, but it can't be that hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-282416 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 01:15:54 +0000 autumnlove 282416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-282385 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:33:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 282385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: International shipping ;( What's funny is it's supposed to be a discount on shipping, they even crossed out the price in red like it's a sale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-282371 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:10:31 +0000 sulli301 282371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I like piecing together DDs costumes from some things bought, some made, etc but when she is older if she wants cooler store bought ones, that is fine with me too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-282119 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:37:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 282119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't sew for crap. However my mom is amazing at the sewing machine. Clearly I did not inherit that from her. Therefore, I envision that she will be making them going forward. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-281825 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:03:40 +0000 PrincessBaby 281825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: What????

My mom is the sewer but I help. She has made my costumes since I was little and now she makes my kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-281771 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:22:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 281771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crap!

She always made our Halloween costumes growing up and loves to do that kind of thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-281731 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:01:38 +0000 Pipers Mommy 281731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bought from etsy so sorta homemade :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-280075 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:17:03 +0000 HLK208 280075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buying! My mom made every costume I had but she was talented and creative. I'm not either of those so I would embarrass my children if I made them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-280074 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:14:12 +0000 Mrs.B 280074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty crafty but I always buy DS's Halloween costume. I love Old Navy's costumes because they are super warm. He usually ends up with 2 because they are so cute and I can't help myself ;) We usually go trick or treating twice. Once in my grandmother's neighborhood and then in DH's parents neighborhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-280061 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:51:54 +0000 plantains 280061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely buying. I just don't see how I can make something that won't look awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-280042 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:54:39 +0000 oliviaoblivia 280042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll make LO's costumes. I worked in the drama department's costume shop in college so I've got the skills. My mom always made ours growing up and we would wake up on Halloween morning with our costumes hanging on the closet door - it was always so exciting. I hope my costumes are half as good as hers were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-280032 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:42:33 +0000 heffalump 280032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Combo. I don't sew, but I'm crafty enough to put things together. This year she's going to be kermit so I'm going to look fir a cheap green dress and add some bunting, and then buy a green hat and add some eyes to the top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279983 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:47:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 279983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maybe a combo of both. This year my SIL bought DS's costume. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279960 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:13:49 +0000 Andrea 279960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: totally with ya! when DD was a baby, she was the PBK bumblebee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279956 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:10:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 279956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be a buyer:) Not talented enough to make anything...And it's too tempting looking at all the super cute baby Halloween stuff at PBK, etc. There is an owl costume that makes me DIE. And I know if Harper was here, she would totally have all stinkin' $50 of it:) </p> [attach=1247/12/m9qwdi.600x529.img9o.jpg] [attach=1247/12/m9qwdk.600x529.img79o.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279955 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:09:52 +0000 cvbee 279955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't sew.</p> <p>I also don't buy things for LO because my Mom loves to shop and has money. I'm a lucky ducky because she also has great taste. I suspect that she will run across a Halloween costume too. She has already sent a hat with a spider and a halloween pajama. I'm spoiled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279947 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:56:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 279947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll usually make or do a combo of making and buying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279935 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:48:03 +0000 chopsuey 279935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought LO's costume already!<br /> I may make them in the future.. we shall see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-make-or-buy-your-los-halloween-costumes#post-279932 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:45:18 +0000 Andrea 279932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure I will always buy them.
