Default XK8 driver seat fabric repair

I have a 1999 XK8 (one a few unconditionally good decisions I made .
I wonder if anyone know how to repair a "disconnected" fabric insert at the bottom of the drivers' seat backrest. Please see the pictures attached.

Any advise will be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Ya- the decision to use fabric here should be filed under "what were they thinking??"

Yes, it does look like using fabric here was one of those ideas that should have been left on the proverbial cutting room floor.

I was hoping to avoid spending hundreds of $$ on replacement covers. Will go to an upholstery place.

Thank you for the responses.

Stay tuned for an update.
