You can clean the leather very easily with water and a rag. Notice the differnce once cleaned.
Once the leather cut and cleaned we can move on to cutting the microfiber fabric.
To join these two pieces of fabric together you will want to use adhesive. The best adhesives for fabric are industrial spray adhesives. Use spray adhesives as directed.
Next you will want to stich the piece into it's final shape.
