Don't quote me on this....as i'm not 100% sure...but I think i heard something about shoe polish? But that doesn't sound like it would.....sounds like it would just "paint over them". ↑

Leather:
Tears and stitching
If the stitching that joins leather pieces on a chair or sofa has broken, use a saddle stitch to form a double row of threads through the existing holes if possible. You will need strong needles available from craft and upholstery suppliers. Repair small tears with a patch of leather large enough to be coated with PVA adhesive all around the edge of the damage. Colour any of the exposed patch with a tinted leather polish, poke the patch through the tear and stick to the back of the surrounding leather.

**is this any good? Im looking at wallpapering lol and thought i'd see what they had on leather... here's the address, there's stuff on stains and fading too: http://uktv.co.uk/style/item/aid/964 ↑

I know that our Lowes stores and Home Depot stores sell leather repair kits that you make a putty like stuff out of and then you put a textured thing over and it look like new when you peel it off. ↑

I am just wondering if and angry little dog that maxie shaved came by and made the holes because we all thought it was funny! ↑

i think cheri is right...you can get those repair kits, and they're pretty good nowadays. ↑

I have heard horrible things about the leather repai kits, so I am too nervous to try it........ ↑
