Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Damn. It's been a minute yall. Man, do I have some life updates for yall. This is going to be LONG.

TW for the below include major injury (not me), minor injury (me), depression (me), and wildly incorrect accusations of emotional abuse (about my partner).

Of course, as always, skip if you aren't interested, but the rundown will look a little like: dating life, major injury (not mine), depressive episode (mine), quit job in spectacular fashion, and finally looking at a nicer future for myself.

Dating life:

So, I've been dating someone since October 2023 (a little before what I can find is my last post), but we didn't make it "official" until March 2024. My mom is relatively okay with it (no problem with them not being a man, mild on/off problems with the person themselves, reasoning below), but my grandma is having some issues coming to terms with the fact that her granddaughter is not dating a man.

Major Injury (not mine):

In January 2024, my mom fell on ice and broke her femur. We've been making the joke since that apparently replacement joints will break you instead of breaking themselves. I was her caregiver for quite a bit, just like I was with her pneumonia in 2023. Big difference was that this time I had an emotional safety net of people to help me instead of being almost entirely alone.

Depressive Episode (mine):

That winter/spring, I fell into a depressive episode like I haven't had in a while. And I was there for almost a full year. I haven't written or created much at all since 2023. When confronted about it in December, my mom assumed it was being caused by my relationship and some kind of emotional abuse going on. That it was not. In fact, they were the first to notice anything was wrong and helped me to seek help. I just hadn't told her anything about it because she tends to overreact to things like that.

Car Dies:

Yeah. As of September 2024, my car, who my friends and I all called sweetie, died. 2010 PT Cruiser. Needed a new transmission, rusted through exhaust pipe that was held off the ground by some wire and clamps, and possibly a new tire or two. No big accident or anything, just age.

The Events of January 2025:

I want to add a little context to this next part. I fell on Thanksgiving and injured my knee pretty seriously and was off work for nearly a month.

In January, I had an MRI and doctor appointment about this knee injury. Before the scan, my doctor's working theory was a meniscus tear, which likely would have meant surgery. After the scan, we learned it wasn't that and I started physical therapy. However, after the appointment, I finally realized exactly how toxic my job was. I had been looking forward to being off work for knee surgery just so I could not be at work. This was when I also realized it was very likely the cause of my depression (some other mild emotional stress coming from that too, maybe that's where my mom picked that vibe up from?) Which leads us to the next section.

Quitting a Job, Burning the Bridge, and Starting Fresh:

At this time, I start really looking at other jobs. I had been looking on and off, but this time, I got serious about it. I managed to get a part time one at my favorite place in the world lined up. Enter the quitting process.

The week after I got my offer, I planned to tell my boss I was leaving and give her an almost 3-4 week notice since they had such a hard time hiring for my position before. I was planning on being kind. Until they hit my breaking point. That day I planned to give my notice, they all but forced me to do parts of my job I had a doctor's note (about the knee injury mentioned above) exempting me from because we were short staffed that day. I was in pain and it was mentioned how slow the process was compared to normal. This pushed me off that proverbial edge.

You see, I had been joking with my girlfriend for a while about a plan for quitting on the spot. We even had a code for it - "2 minutes notice". (They were the ones driving me to work at this time, so I would need someone to pick me up. Also, yes, its a Helluva Boss reference. ) I texted them the code and waited until they were in the parking lot. At this time, I sent a mass email to everyone in the company, both corporate and store levels with my reasons for quitting, how to contact me if needed, and a link to the music video for "2 Minutes Notice" song. I also played a clip of it over the intercom system on my way out the building.

I definitely burnt that bridge, but it was worth it. And I have a MUCH better job now.

Seeing My Future:

So that elaborate quitting really brought my spark back. As does my new job: History Presenter at a major, world-renowned museum in my area. That means I, someone with a bachelor's in US History and background in cosplay, get paid to dress up and act like it's the past and explain history to guests. It's a dream come true.

If things in the US surrounding universities calm down, I also plan on using some of my free time to go back to get my masters degree. This is something I've wanted to do since I got out of college, but I had the chance since my previous job drained all of my physical and emotional energy.

The depressive episode is over, I'm starting to make things again, and the future is actually within steps for me.

I probably won't be on here too much, but much more than the last approximate 18 months. And I'm also SO happy they have a button for the "see more" feature now instead of having to use the old work around if you were on mobile.
