So a couple of weeks ago I turned my three seater couch into a two seater couch<\/a>. That worked out well (in the end) and now I am noticing that my throw pillows are pretty sad and flat. I bought most of these second hand after our last move – so they weren’t new when I got them. Several years of wear and tear later they are pretty sad. But – you know that I don’t like to throw things away so I got out my stich ripper and opened them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the left is the origional pillow. On the right, two restuffed ones. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a hard process but the whole thing does take a couple of days. You have to open up the pillows. I took advantage and washed them. I fluffed up the stuffing and put it in a pillow case with an elastic at the opening. I tied a knot the first time and the knot opened up and spilled loose stuffing in the washing machine. This was not a disaster but an annoying clean up. The stuffing gets washed and dried (with a couple of tennis balls in the dryer to keep it fluffy) and then stuffed back in the pillows. I made 3 new fluffy and full pillows from 4 old flat ones and had just one old cover left over for the landfill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
