Not sure if the fishing line would tend to cut into the leather though. I have also seen the same but from old Levis.

They have the special needle and thread to sew it there. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | If you can find it, the old black silk suture thread seems to work well on leather. My dad's a vet, and someone gave him a ton of it in different sizes years ago. It just sat around until I realized it was some of the best repair thread ever invented. I'll look around and see if anyone sells it on eBay. The brand I have is Ethicon. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 466 | My .02
I think a patchwork black leather bench seat would look GOOD!
