Could you provide details as to where you got the leather and what kind of thread you used?
I've found myself quite handy with sewing, but I haven't done anything with leather. Sounds like it could be a fun project for a rainy day.
Also, could be a great opportunity to retrofit the heated element I lost when I put in a sports steering wheel
