Car Seat Repair

Hi,
My 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS has gray leather seats with some tearing in the driver’s seat. I have taken it to a couple upholsterers and the best price I can get for the repair is $350.
I’m a DIYer, and I can’t believe (or stomach) spending that much on what seems like an injury that runs only “skin-deep.” I don’t need the seat to look absolutely perfect, I just want it to not look painfully obvious that a repair has been done.
Tips or experience?
