1. Which parts of the outfit do you make on your own? ~ Everything that can be sewn. Also some extra stuff like accessories.
2. Have you ever made your own weapons/props? Or do you buy replicas? ~ Well, no, I don't usually have any weapons or props.. If I do, my best friends take care of that stuff for me. ^^
3. How much time and/or money do you normally spend on one cosplay? ~ Umm. Time-wise.. I dunno, about a month? And most of the work is done like in the last two weeks before the con. X'D I'm lazy like that.. And money, hmm, it depends.. The more simple ones that I already have a suitable wig for are usually around 50 €. But I think the average cost of my costumes would be closer to 100€.. I try to do everything on budget, but of course I want to avoid looking cheap. :3
And I'll explain some more in general: Me and my two best friends always cosplay together, and make our cosplays together. I do all the sewing stuff, one friend is in charge of props and wigs, and the other does all the painting work(We've had quite a lot of that in our costumes lately.. Outfits with details that look the best painted on). ^^

1. Which parts of the outfit do you make on your own? Everything that's sewn so far, unless I come across items that completely fit what I'm trying to go for (for instance, leather-looking black pants for only 10 bucks - not going to spend 15 bucks on pleather then!).
2. Have you ever made your own weapons/props? Or do you buy replicas? Haven't made them yet (no need to), but I'm planning on making all of my props myself, unless it's the same case as 1. 3. How much time and/or money do you normally spend on one cosplay? Not counting the pattern, sewing takes me at least a week for one article of clothing (I sew everything by hand because I'm scared to death of the sewing machine we currently have and the previous one kept dying on me). Money depends entirely on the costume; my first 'real' costume, Taiga Aisaka, cost me about 20 bucks on fabric (could've gone cheaper, but I needed real firm material for the coat I was actually planning on making), 25 on a wig, 5 on socks and 10 on shoes. My Edward Elric costume cost me 50 on fabric, 10 on those leather-look pants, 25 or 30 on the wig, 5 on the gloves and I wore 100 euro shoes that I always wear. It wasn't complete yet, though, so I'd probably need to pour in about 50+ more to get it to be to where I want to (special boots, new underjacket since the old one died, possibly a new wig if I can't find the old one anymore).
My future cosplays (Pyro and Sara Trantoul) are going to be extremely time consuming and possibly expensive; for the Pyro (TF2) I'm planning on trying to get fire resistant fabric and to work a pleather mask around a genuine gasmask, and for Sara Trantoul (Castlevania) I'm going to get quite expensive fabric and have to handsew all of the details onto it.
