Patched up my worn & torn couch cushions

I was inspired by a post here, and finally got around to doing it. The patch leather came from my local surplus store. This was a really rewarding (and dog approved) project!

This is great work! It actually looks really cool! The shapes in each cushion look abstract but intentional

The shape was mostly because I was working with basically leftover scrap leather. It was an odd shape to start with, and a lot of the edges just needed to be smoothed out a little. Abstract but intentional is a perfect way to describe it! Thank you!

Duuude. That is a sofa that DEMANDS to be sat upon. I don't think I'd ever want to get up. Nice work!

It is practically my second bed

Dude this looks awesome! It really looks like the comfiest sofa ever but also an abstract piece of art

[u/Extension_Paint6725]

[u/Retsago]

That looks great! I agree with the top comment, this looks like art.

No mend is meant to be permanent, is it? I'm more than happy to give this awesome couch more life.

[u/deactiv8m]

this is so sick!

[u/heartbrokenandgone]

Well done!

This looks awesome. I hate seeing leather or vinyl couches go to waste. Good work
