Cutting the pillows in two was not an easy job, there was so much stuffing in them!
Pinned and ready to sew
All the stuffing left over, plenty for the next project!
From my material stash! Bought many years ago, at a bargain price, in Cardiff, originally for bedcovers.
The almost finished result, Far from perfect, I could have placed the ties better and I will be stitching down the centres and adding some buttons. They are functional though and new ones would have cost at least £3 each, I found 4 in a charity shop for £6. I had almost everything in the house for converting the pillows into seat pads and only spent £2.70 for the tape to make the ties. So I saved £3.30 over the charity shop ones.

And, they look so much more comfy than those things they pass off as seat pads everywhere else!
Well done! *applause* :-)
How fabulous! You sure are crafty!
Well done!!
I always unstuff old pillows, the stuffing always comes in for something :-)
What a great way to use up extra pillows, we've got more pillows than beds and one of the most uncomfy bits of garden furniture ever invented so will definitely be copying you!
I am about to make another pillow into a kneeling pad for the garden!
Fingers crossed it works!
