How to Repair a Broken Seam in Leather Upholstery

If you have a split seam on a leather upholstered chair or sofa, don’t worry! You can stitch that seam right back up with a needle and thread. We’re taking the guesswork out of your repair with a quick video tutorial to show you how to stitch a broken upholstery seam back together.
To fix the rip, you’re going to want to sew a ladder stitch to close up the opening and to hide the stitches. This will give you a clean, professional looking seam so you won’t even be able to tell that your seam was once split open! We recommend using a curved needle for this project. The curved shape of this needle makes it easier to feed it in and out of the fabric against the chair.
