I hate being in a senior-ish year (I'm part time so it's weird) of a somewhat rigorous program while I am basically in health/mental health crisis.
I need a social worker to help me way more than I need to BE a social worker, but I dare not tell my professors that because they already ride the line of ableism on a regular basis when I express my major limits at the moment.
I've taken too many breaks from school over the years, I just want to finish so badly. But I don't understand why my extremely serious crisis is not being taken seriously nor are my less serious anxieties and concerns. I feel like I'm getting the subliminal message of, "well, now that you're close to graduating, we're going to be harder on you because the Real World is harder." and also, "if you can't handle this, maybe you're just too disabled for higher education."
which is bullshit. anyone who wants to pursue higher education should be accommodated, full stop.

I finally finished it!! :D
this is the wool coat that was my capstone project for the sewing portion of my classes!
It is fully lined, tailored for me, and extremely warm!
I chose a pattern that had princess seams and put a shawl collar on the coat instead of the notched collar everyone else in the class was doing
Here's a picture of one of my bound buttonholes! A kind of button holes so hard to do that my pattern making textbook just says to get a professional to do it for you if you want them in a garment XD
Here's a picture of the kind of button I chose. I decided on this because it looks a lot like the twill of the wool making up the coat it rests on!
This is the damask lining I ended up using (I had a pima cotton originally, but had a catastrophic failure that made me unable to use it for this project) it's almost exactly the same shade as mint frosting so my classmates and I started calling it my mint brownie (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧
That pima cotton I mentioned earlier? There was still enough after disaster struck to do the pockets! Cotton makes for a much better pocket than damask and these pockets are hidden in the princess seams lines while being big enough to fit my phone, lipstick, and gloves at the same time!
This project was stressful at times, but it was such a a blast and I learned a TON and now I have a great coat for formal events again! The only real downside is that because I made it from wool this coat has to be dry cleaned (which I definitely can't afford after buying the materials to make this coat XD)
