Hi, I am new to this forum, thanks for the great resource!
I have a repair to make on a children's chair with a vinyl slipcover. The tear is in the seam where the seat and the back come together. The slipcover goes over a foam chair form and has a piece of red vinyl attached that's used to pull the seat into place. The slipcover fits very tightly over the form. I am unsure how to repair the tear. I tried hand stitching the rip, but soon realized the way I was doing it wasn't going to work. My machine won't have any trouble sewing it, if that's the way to go.
My concern is by resewing the seam, am I going to use too much of the seat material and how to make it look cohesive? I've included pictures. Thanks for any tips or resources you may have.
