Sew Needing Some Support

Sew, haven't done much sewing since last I posted.  What, with taking a Data Analysis class that is taking all my spare time.  When not spending time in hours of homework, I have been fighting BMW North America regarding my mini cooper (see previous blog for details).  Sew now, they offer, a "one time good deal" because of being "such a good customer" to replace the part but will not guarantee that they will replace it if it fails again.  I feel the offer was to get me to shut up after writing to every company executive.  Sew, if I accept that offer, I screw myself for future complaints.  I'm sew fed up with them.  My next step is a small claims action against Jackie Cooper BMW in Edmond.  I hate doing that cuz it's not them, they just sold me the car.  But, hey, JC BMW could foot the bill if they cared for my business. 

It's not about the money, it's about the principal that they can bully people and refuse to do the right thing.  You can help me by signing my petition on change.org.  https://www.change.org/petitions/bmw-north-america-cant-bully-american-car-owners.  But only if you want, no pressure.  I've never done this before, but I'm tired of being paralyzed by the bullies with all the money in America.  If I have to follow the rules, the big boys should too.

Sew, what have I sewed?  I did sew a lovely vintage style green velvet cloche.  It's from an out of print McCall's hat pattern.  It's lovely and sew easy to make.  I used a scrap green velvet and a silky piece of fabric in a dark turquoise for the band.  I found a silk flower pin at Hobby Lobby to attach to the side to give it a more vintage feel.   Sew, sorry for this short blog, but life gets in the way sometimes. 

I promise, the next time, I will offer more sewing and less bitching.  Promise....hopefully.  I'll do my best.
