Leather and fabric combination on seats was very common in cars of the 40's and 50's. Buick, Cadillac, Olds, Packard to name a few. There is no reason to think leather would stretch when used with fabric on the same panel as full leather interiors held up well for 50+ years as did the combos.

Stitching at the edge of a panel of leather or fabric logically would have no effect on stretching, only on the durability of the seam.

Any competent upholstery shop can do the job, it's not an Ul Traumatic after all.
