I bought some outdoor fabric, made a pillow with a zipper and my husband questioned the integrity of the pillow. Does anyone know if I need to wrap my Pillow insert inside a waterproof lining?

We get alot of rain here and I hate for these fabric pillow cases which cost a fortune to mildew.

I am also wanting to make some outdoor pillows for our patio set that the cushions are faded from the sun.

I just found this link, enjoy!
