She'll then give you a Tailor Shop Kit and you'll be able to choose the location of the Able Sisters' Tailor Shop.

After you've laid the plot, you'll have to wait two days for the construction to be completed.
When Do the Able Sisters Come?

After that day, Mabel will start visiting in the Plaza on a random weekday.
