Upholstery repair

Post by Woodyyellow »

Upholstery question.
Have got this really annoying cigarette burn in the drivers seat in otherwise perfect upholstery for a 39 year old van.
Suggestions as to how I can possibly fix it please? Have thought about glueing a small foam plug into it but then not sure how to blend / disguise it.

Many thanks.

I have a hole in mine almost identical to that. I have just learned to live with it.

I asked my girlfriend, who's really handy with fabric and redid our upholstery. She says she would just embroider a flower over it, but you could also embroider it closed with color-matched thread.
