Default driver seat leather

hello guys,
I have a question.

My driver seat is in white leather. As the former owner was a big guy, the leather is very used, and its makes holes.
I want to repair by myself without faraminous costs. Like patching or something like that.
Anyone has an idea on how to do it and where to find a piece of leather or white vinyl?
thanks for your experience guys.

There are kits to do it. Doubt any will last.
Look in your local area for an interior person, pull the seat, pull the cover(s), take it in for repair.

Back in the day I had an interior guy do carpet, headliner, visors, and front and rear seats. These people exist.

Yes there are lots of them and yes, they exist!. I had my previous RAV4 cloth upholstery converted to a leather(synthetic I think) with heating option (was in east coast back then). Traded it in after 2 years - money down the drain LOL.
