Best way to repair a leather couch?

[iroast]

I have two holes in my couch: 1 about the size of a quarter and another about 2 quarters. Will those As on TV patches work well? I think color matching is an issue with them.

Electrical or duct tape. You don't really have a couch until you've mended them with tape. Textile ftw.

Yep, duct tape fixes everything! you could try sewing it together as well.

You can pay to have someone come in and fix. Not really that expensive. Look up furniture repair.

There are experts who claim to be able to make these repairs.

From my experience, you cannot see the repair from 100 feet away.

I wish my living room was that big that I could gaze from afar and see that my couch was still intact and without any tears.

What he is saying, I believe, is that those patches/repairs all look bad, unless you are 100 feet away.

Really, the only way to fix it is to re-upholster.
