Glue some cloth to door panels?

[bigmoe]

My current door panels are painted but I was thinking I could get another pair and try my hand at gluing some cloth on like the picture. Just wondering if anyone has done this? What kind of cloth to get? Would it have to be a little stretchy to get it to conform to the indents? I was thinking I could get a couple of helpers to hold it just above and start from the center out, rubbing it into the indents.
