Question Small Leather Repair Suggestions

Hi, hoping someone can help me out here. I'm planning on cleaning up the seats and getting that looking nice. I'd like to get these small rips repaired first to prevent them from getting bigger and I was hoping I could get it done myself rather than paying a shop to do it. I guess it will all depend on how hard this turns out to be.

Here is a picture of the rips.

Thanks for the help.

I would start by at least having a local auto upholstery repair shop look at it and give you an estimate.
On my 4Runner I was surprised at how reasonable a professional repair was. Also if you try to repair it yourself and it does not work (or look good) a shop may not be able to repair it and may have to replace the section of material, may cost more in the long run

That's a very good point. I will take it to them as well to just get an idea of effort. My thought was that it might be too small of a job (in my mind at least) and I might just get hit with a minimum.

Either way, I won't know until I actually ask so, again, good point.

Thanks
