(information to be added later)

For holes in the middle of a fabric section

1. Handsew a patch** on top of the damage (the patches would show, but might be less obtrusive than the damaged areas). This would require that you have some matching fabric**

2. B.)Take the sofa almost completely apart to be able to take the damage area of. Then un-stuff the pillows, take the seams apart to replace the front/top panel. After sewing the top panel in the cushions, re-stuff and reattach to sofa, reassemble all the pieces. Labor on this, perhaps $350* to $450* plus the cost of any additional materials**

*does not include transportation charges.

**Do you have any more of the fabric that matches the sofa? (arm covers, throw pillows, etc.) Trying to find an exact match is not likely. Sometimes you can get more of the fabric by going through the store where you purchased the sofa. If you don't have or can't get more of the matching fabric, then your choices are:

1. Use the fabric off the back of the sofa to repair the inside back, and then put some other fabric on the sofa back.

2. Use some fabric that might be close or would contrast with the existing fabric.
