Default leather seat - patch small hole

I have a very small hole developing in my leather seat. What's the best way to patch it and stop it from getting bigger?

Go to an auto upholstrey shop. They will do the job right and you will never notice it. If you try to do it and smuck it up it will be the first thing you notice everytime you get in the car and will eventually drive you crazy! My sport seat bolster was lookin nasty on my vert with tan interior. Also the console door was lookin salmon in color. I took her to the local upholstrey guy and he recovered both in matching materiel and it looked great! I think it set me back about $80. :blueangel:
