Quality Creation

Being on the second floor of Fortune Arcade in Sector 18 means we see a lot of people coming and going. The stairs can be a bit of a workout when we are carrying heavy bags of materials up, but you get used to it after a week or two. Our space here isn't huge but we've managed to fit in all the cutting tables and the sewing stations. The arcade itself stays pretty busy throughout the afternoon, especially with the other shops around us. We usually start quite early before the heat really sets in. Most of what we do involves sitting at the machines and putting pieces together. There isn't much room for a fancy lobby, so when you walk in, you're basically right in the middle of the workspace. We have rolls of fabric leaning against the walls and thread spools everywhere. It looks a bit messy to an outsider, I guess, but we know where everything is. The windows look out over the street and sometimes we just watch the traffic for a minute when we take a break. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that. It's just us here in the arcade, making things and trying to keep up with the deadlines. It gets a bit loud when all the machines are going at once but we don't mind the noise much anymore. It just means we are getting the work finished on time and everyone is staying busy.
