Piece 1 - The headband
Place the shearling hide side up and mark the rectangular pattern on it. 
Cut the skin with a sharp knife along a straight edge.
The fleece will part when pulled.
Piece 2 - The top
Place the scrap of soft leather inside up to mark the oval and its darts.
I use talcum powder in a bag to wipe around the edge of the pattern.  I shows up well on dark leather and is easy to remove when cleaning up. 
Cut the oval out with a knife or shears.
Do not cut the darts at this time.
Piece 3 - The lining
Pin the top pattern to the wool piece and cut out. Again not cutting the darts.
