Couch Repair Help

Hey everyone.

I have a leather couch with the stitching coming undone in between the couch seats/cushions (see pictures). I'm looking for some advice.

- Is this a relatively easy fix or will the couch need to be dismantled to stitch this properly?
- Is this likely a job I could do myself or should I have it repaired professionally?

Thanks in advance to any of you who can point me in the right direction.

you can do it your self with a curved needle follow the holes from the old stitch go from underneath stitch one and cross over stitch the other side , repeat.
dont tighten your stitches leave them loose till the end and carefully pull them together to tighten.
tie off the threads at the end so it dont come undone
they are videos to google to see how this is done. good luck

Thanks Rhonda, much appreciated. I've watched some videos on stitching and will give it a go today.

@Rhonda , the value of the forum great advice. I would walk away from that since I would have only thought of taking it apart and unless my own not even worth it.
