This is what I use too. I made many for adults and kids. The pellets are washable and dryable. I used one pretty print and muslin for backing. They are great for the car. I make an extra long one for me. I'm always spilling something in the car on myself. I have used the thin vinyl felt backed tablecloths too as thin batting or for backing to make it leak proof . I bought a big bag of the pellets at Walmart. Walmart has big summer vinyl thin felt back tablecloths for $3 now. I buy several as I use them for a lot of sewing projects.
