Cut a mold ok item using cardboard and use mold to cut out leather

Leave a little extra as you cut out the leather and mark a line 3/8 inch in from actual mold. This will be your decretive stitch line if desired

Sew along line. I used 5mm stitch

Glue onto item

these lower dash parts were recovered in a material called Napatek. It is amazingly similar to real porsche leather almost indistinguishable. It’s also a good affordable material to use to practice your leather skills.
