Default Seat Repair

I have a small separation in my drivers seat right above the side bolster at the seam where it joins the next vertical section of the side of the seat. It is still sewn together, just separated enough to see into the seat and padding.

Anybody know a good way to sew this back together without needing to remove the leather from the frame?

I was thinking maybe there is a small curved needle and thread kind of repair?

Any ideas?

Your bet bet may be to take it to a local upholstery shop to see what they could do. There are complete replacement sources for the covers, but assuming that your skins are still in good shape, you could just close up the hole cheaper.
