Apparently, dried cherry pits can be substituted for buckwheat, too. If you’re super thrifty and like eating cherries, you might want to look into the dried cherry pit thing further. I’d imagine you’d want to rinse them in something like a bleach solution, wash them again to remove the bleach and then spread them on a baking sheet to dry for a few days before using them?

All you really need to make these is a piece of cotton fabric, a sewing machine and your filler. Very fast and cheap and useful to boot.
