Don't worry about your sewing, or his spelling and grammar. The only thing he's interested in is collecting $25 from alot of gullible people who unfortunately fall for these things every hour of the day.

My sister does custom dresses. She answered an ad for a seamstress. She was directed to a legit website where there where these cute kids outfits with lots and lots of ruffles at out of this world prices. They would furnish the pattern and fabric and pay you a whole $10 and outfit to:
cut it out, serge around every pc, sew outfit together and serge finish every seam. Then ship it to the customer on their account#. It would take a full day to do all of this.
she sent them this reply:
LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL, good luck with that.
