Yoga bolster owner sews replacement covers instead of paying $154

Original: The zipper and strap on the cover of one of my yoga bolsters broke. I figured that the other zipper on my older bolster

A yoga practitioner whose bolster cover zipper and strap broke decided against paying $154 for two new covers, calling the price outrageous. Instead they spent $31.77 on fabric and sewed two custom pillowcase-style covers themselves, also repairing an older bolster whose zipper was expected to fail soon.
