: I'd love to hear how the stapling comes out,

Stapling the fabric to the forward edge of the stems will work just fine - been there, done that. A good bead of glue - PL Premium construction adhesive, perhaps - along the stem and between the layers will prevent any leaks.

Sewing up the stems is pretty easy, though.

Good luck!
