If you use the practice of making Yoga Bolsters and Dog Beds as a system of textile re-use in your home, you will eventually make more than you can use. Give them away. Users of a neighbourhood ‘Buy Nothing’ group might appreciate them…”
Yoga Bolsters & Dog Beds, is the first ‘zine (Volume 1) in the series Practices of Everyday Ethics and was created for the Fairview Eco-Gathering event in 2022. At the event passersby were invited to bring clean textile waste to be used to stuff bolsters and cushions. Two completed yoga bolsters and a dog bed were raffled.
Lois Klassen describes a 2024 sustainable sewing goal related to these textile waste meditations on Check Your Thread podcast #117: Fabric Goals for 2024.
