Would it work to get patches of more fabric- contrasting color - and see a few of them on sofa?? Kinda creating a hobo look? If not, cover the whole thing with a sofa cover.
im assuming it the cover of the couch that is disentigrating and the couches structure. The problem with patching disentigrating fabric is finding surfaces of fabric that still maintain a true integrity. If you patch onto a compromised surface then the patch won’t stick. The patch needs a Strong surface that won’t rip.
if the couch has a great build then recover it or buy a slip cover. Otherwise, look for a new couch. IKEA has some great inexpensive options
Per the experts, repairing and dyeing an unstable surface is likely to suffer the same fate and is often not worth the labor and money. Reupholstery or replacement is recommended.
We tried the slipcover - it didn't work. The little shreds of the faux finish stick to everything and get tracked all over the house.
Many years ago I painted a stuffed plastic chair and it worked, but I don't remember the type of paint and also, I think there are products out ther designed for this problem.
Bummed out! One of the kids put their foot with a shoe on it, on the couch and created this tear in the seat cushion. I’m wondering if I can sew it, instead of pay ...
