How can i repair my couch cushion?

Can you figure out how the cushion is attached to the sofa? If it can be removed, even with a bit of effort, the hand stitching to reconnect it to the sofa is a better idea and probably more durable than hand stitching in the chewed area. If you can get the cushion off, you have greater possibility to repair the damage.

Now, do you have access to a sewing machine/seamstress? With the cushion off the sofa you can see if there is an area you can cannibalize for fabric. If so, use it to repair the area, then repair the new hole with a dark fabric, then hand sew the cushion back onto the couch.

if the back of the sofa doesn't show, perhaps you can make an entire new cushion from that fabric, then just replace the back. Or perhaps you can find matching fabric thru a upholstery shop, or contact the manufacturer for fabric or a new cushion.

if this was my couch i would start by carefully trimming off the white shredded fabric. pull the topstitch thread to the inside and knot it off. tip the couch over (if there is a dust cloth stapled to the bottom remove a few staples and look for some extra material you can use for a patch if you need it) stitch the cushion back together with heavy duty dark brown thread. use binder clips to hold the material together till you get it to look how you want it. a sharp curved needle may work the best. not too thick. take your time and piece everything back together you may have some uneven edges but it should look better than chewed fabric. if you lived by me i would fix it for you. good luck. use bitter apple to deter dog chewing on stuff. its available at a pet supply store.

also, you could touch up the white areas left after stitching with a brown permanent marker. take your time. it really doesn't look too hard to fix. use a thimble too to protect your finger tips.

My dog also ate my lleather couch I went to the leather company in my town and they gave me contact cement. it worked. I cleaned up the corner and then used the cement.

I would clean up the frayed area, glue the pieces in place then stitch the area to match. Glue keeps it all together, stitching reinforces

Is this a square cushion or an L shape. If it's a squarfe cushion, after you do your best to repair it, you can turn the damaged edge towards the back where it would not be as visible.

thanks mama! it is L shaped but you cant change it around

thanks to all for your suggestions!!!

Is duct tape assessible in the same color? Simple, speedy solution. Experiment & good luck!

I was going to suggest the auto parts store repair kit as well. I've seen it work wonders. Practically invisible if done carefully. By practically invisible I mean they had to point it out to me although I had seen the damage before repair!

Hey Peggy!! I have a puppy also that did the same thing!! Check out the link below to see how I fixed her "love bite"! Haha
