You can repair the actual seam with Super Glue. It's tricky though. Because Super Glue dries incredibly fast, you'll need to first practice pressing the two sides together so you know exactly where you want the sides to grasp on to each other. Once you've determined that, you apply a thin line of Super Glue on only one side of the seam then quickly press and hold the two sides together. It should be completely dry in about 10-15 seconds. If you can find "thick" Super Glue, we recommend using it because it takes longer to dry and will give you a little bit of extra positioning time.

Beautiful! Great write-up, too.

Can you tell us what is growing around the pavers. It looks like clover to me.

There is nothing better than wool when it comes to getting it clean again. Not so sure about keeping it clean though.

Gorgeous. Everything is perfect. Don't listen to the "color haters" (there should be a dance fight between the neutral lovers and the color lovers. Jets v. Sharks, finger snappin' time.)

Hurray for anamimi! My kids are grown, but I still avoid un-child-friendly adults. I find I enjoy people who value people over things.

After hanging out here on AT, I am beginning to think that color is right up there with religion in the "my way or straight to Hell" department.

I'm terrible at gleaning information from the posted photos, but it looks to me like the seating area is not a cushion that can be removed, right? So any repair has to be done right there, on the couch.

My first thought was how about those iron-on patches or fusible interfacing. Cut a small piece of one of those, insert it into the tear, and iron it so that the two sides of the cut are now bridged by the patch? Does that make sense? Seems like it would support the fabric, preventing more tearing, while being invisible.

I feel your pain--I would do anything to save myself from a re-upholstery expense if I was in your situation.
