I have been sewing cushion covers for the seating set on the front porch. When doing the upper/back cushions I wanted to try something a little different as I ran into this problem:
So this time I bought thicker/wider elastic and triple stitched it to the beige fabric and then when joining everything together I triple stitched it again.
I slip it over the back of the chair and it holds it nice and secure.
Now everything is all done it looks a bit better.
I ended up with over 3 yards of fabric leftover, so have listed it on Facebook Marketplace for $30. If I can manage to sell it, this project will have cost around $80, including all supplies, which is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying new cushions. If I can get three years out of this set, that's less than $30 a year.

Oh, I love how you think....breaking the price down per year! Your porch is very inviting with your cheerful cushions.
I would think using wider elastic would help the cushions stay in place so clever you! Your new cushions look lovely. Which reminds me that I guess it's time to unearth ours from beneath the bed where they have been stored for the winter.
Love the cushions!!! You did an excellent job.
God bless.
I love breaking down what I spend and how long it’s been since I spent it.
I still have clothes that I’ve had for almost twenty years.
They have been good clothes, home clothes and now pjs.
I’ve got every single cents worth out of then. That’s for sure
