Default repairing torn ripped seats anyone?

Does anyone have know of anyway that a seat tear can be repaired without spending a ton of money for a little rip like maybe superglue or a repair kit

maybe try calling an interior shop and asking? I know one thing that can probably done is replace just the leather panel where the tear is, but I am 90% sure I've seen patching methods for leather before that work pretty well if you can get the color match right.

EDIT: I should have asked are they leather or cloth? If they are cloth they might not be that bad to get recovered.

i went to an interior shop and asked for some of their thread they used for seats got a matching color a curved sewing needle and just stitched it up you cant even tell on mine unless youre really looking for it but its better to have weird stitching than a hole in your seat
