Need help with some leather working

[Thorn E Martinek]

Hello all, 

I have a bit of a leather working conundrum.  I am making a functional respirator mask,  and the center seam is a curved V that I want to stitch edge to edge.  I'm planning to use a cross stitch, but everything I've found demonstrating this only shows, and even talks about, using this method with two separate panels with a strait edge.

I have seen finished examples of what I'm planning to do, so I think it should work, but I want to make sure I'm not going down the wrong path before I start burning through materials.

Am I over thinking this?

Thank you for any help you have.
