Just looks like it's more worth buying a new one

But fair play having a bash at doing it yourself and it is a good way to learn how to do it yourself

I would throw it away and buy a new one... Especially if you are repairing it with fibrefill...

Thats good, make sure you layer it up nice and thick around the repairs. If you can try filling it with expanding foam to make it a bit stronger. The fibreglass looks pretty thin...
