The following are instructions on renovating leather-covered furniture. Cut the strings that hold the buttons from underneath the seats; these strings can be drawn out on the top. The stuffing will now be loose and the bulged edges knocked up square. Get the seat surface as even as possible; then re-button with covered buttons, commencing near the edges. Tie these up as tightly as possible, so as to make deep tufts. Now dissolve 1 oz. of bleached shellac in 1/2 pt. of spirit and give the leather two thin, even coats, applied with a piece of sponge.
