If you truly want to do an interior in leather, I would recommend checking out a custom upholstery shop specializing in Automobile work. It won't be cheap but if you shop carefully and talk to locals who have cherry interior jobs you will find one. You will be able to get custom stitching in deviating color like the factory does or anything else your wallet will tolerate. If you are truly fussy about the outcome, choose wisely what you conquer yourself. I replaced a lot of vinyl seats with OEM skins. It takes multiple events to gain the dexterity necessary to achieve an outcome that would satisfy the average enthusiast on this board; hence the nod for a shop quote. If you pull the trigger on a job make sure to post some pics.
