reupholster a leather sofa
Our dark brown 2 seater leather sofa is starting to sag but the leather is in good condition. You can just about feel some of the frame at the front in certain seating positions. I was going to get a man in, but that is bad form in this group.
So, how easy would it be to fix myself ? The sofa has sewn-in "cushions" and the seams are all double stitched. I could link to a photo later on if need be. I would have to remove a lot of the stitching and have a look inside to see what strapping and/or foam needs replacing. At the same time I would like to slightly reshape the cushions, since the sofa tended to droop at the front which resulted in bad posture. I think the hardest part might be restitching it since it would have originally been done with a machine and probably in a different sequence and/or partly inside out. Anyone got experience with this type of thing ? Simon. |
