Was given a sectional. Very comfortable but the material is fake leather like and is flaking off. Because of its shape I'm having a hard time finding a cover.
You might have to make your own or buy fabric to recover

First need to really think how much you want to put into an inexpensive sofa. It will take tons of fabric to recover, approx 20 yards and a lot of labor. Loom on you tube for tutorials on how to recover a sectional sofa.
This is another tutorial: https://tatertotsandjello.com/make-dropcloth-sofa-sectional-slipcover/
or you can paint it..check u tube.
You are not going to find a ready-made cover for your individual shaped sectional that will be less expensive than making your own.

And here's a neat product I found. It's a self adhesive leather repair kit: https://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Leather-Repairing-Patches-Clothing/dp/B0758G1TJV/ref=asc_df_B0758G1TJV/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241953410811&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=853291288360115371&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011817&hvtargid=pla-447026442233&psc=1
I'm not endorsing this amazon site, just found it at thought it might be an inexpensive solution!
Good luck!
