Hi, how to re-stitch a 1cm rip in my black leather lounge. I hope someone can help me.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @2restore. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a rip in leather.

Typically, rips in leather are not sewn together as it would be a noticeable repair. You'd normally insert a piece of leather or other material inside the rip and then glue the leather down to it, ensuring the rip is pulled closely together as you do so. Specialised filler and stains can then be used to ensure the repair is seamless.

You might even find that some cloth tape inserted behind the leather would be enough to hold the rip together. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
