So I’ve been doing yoga for about a year. And I’m not very bendy. It was suggested that a bolster might help. My friend has been lending me one to see, and it did. So for my Mothering Sunday gift I asked if I could please have some polystyrene beans. I got a bolster case on Vinted a while back and I knew I had calico and stuff to make an inner with.
So yesterday that’s what I did. Here you can see measuring and cutting (thanks to FR for the maths help!! My brain blanked on the maths) - through to the complicated pie making that is sewing a flat thing to a curved thing…..(pin, tack/baste and THEN sew, btw) and then some innovative ways to get beans into the bag…..(we used the polystyrene block that stores my machine foot away as a funnel!! And a wooden spoon for poking!!)
And it’s done. It doesn’t have the weight/flop value of a commercial one (I’m presuming they use something closer to actual beans? I’ve seen them filled with buckwheat too.) but I’m super happy and excited for class.
Case was preloved. I already had the calico and all the threads and stuff. Took me about 3 hours? I’m good with that.
(Also the round ends made me think of tortillas when I was cutting them out! Hehehehe!!)

Empecemos definiendo dos términos mediáticos actuales de los que necesitamos estar al tanto el second hand y el upcycling.
Se conoce como second hand o de segunda mano a la ropa de medio uso que se encuentra en buen estado y que aún puede ser usada por alguien más. De esta manera, brindándole la oportunidad de tener una segunda vida y contribuir con prendas que aporten al estilo personal de alguien más.
Esta opción evita seguir consumiendo en los grandes conglomerados, promueve una economía circular y es una práctica ecofriendly, donde se recicla en lugar de desechar.
El Upcycling consiste en aprovechar productos, residuos o materiales textiles de desecho con el objetivo de fabricar nuevos productos o materiales de mayor calidad. Traspasado a la moda, se trata de la reutilización de una prenda que por algún motivo se decide dejar de utilizar.
i can’t stress this enough. if you want some new clothes, go thrifting. if you want some new decor, go thrifting. if you want some books or notebooks or whatever the fuck it is, GO THRIFTING. there’s so much good shit you can find at the thrift store, and it’s cheap and good for the environment because you’re essentially upcycling things!
i’m not forcing anyone to thrift shop; it’s just a better option than going off SHEIN or target or something.
