That's totally enough to work with, thank you so much. Don't worry about the machine. We can make this work for now. If more people want custom clothes, then we'll ask one of the others.

Okay, so. A few months ago, my mom and I bought the kimono I'm going to wear for my twentieth birthday. That's a really big deal birthday. Shopping for it was fun.
