Yoh can make the pillows a couple of ways but if you do not use sunbrella fabric (which is stiff but made for all kinds of weather) then use upholstery fabric and waterproof them. You can see the pillows; you can wrap the pillows (need a lot of material); last you can use a FABRIC GLUE. Measure the size of your pillows plus 1/2 inch seam on all sides. I would draw a seam line with disappearing ink pens (fabric dept or store). Then apply a thin line of glue where the seam line is. You need glue on top and bottom so when you press together it is glue to glue. Let dry thoroughly. Spray with waterproofer and insert foam. Then glue the last open seam. After dry then waterproof again. All done with no sewing. I hope you understand what I just wrote.

Gil one final thing waterproof the right side of fabric (of course) but also the underside before applying glue. This will help 10 times better against mold. Also check out Hometalk DIYers on YouTube. Good luck
