Bonding fabrics for canvas cover

    Self taught trimmer here,
    I am making a cover for a small aircraft out of marine canvas however the canvas is rather abrasive and I would prefer something softer for the inside touching the painted finish. The cover that I looked at in person appeared to have a soft cotton tshirt material on the inside. What would your suggestion for bonding a softer material to the inside of the canvas be. Weldwood spray glue, edge sew only, or some other method. My fear would be the weldwood glue would soak through a soft cotton fabric.
    Any suggestions for materials and adhesives or tip greatly appreciated.

    For indoor or outdoor use, and does the color matter?
    I was thinking car bra material. I believe Rochford supply carries a line of felt or cotton backed boat cover material.

    It's for outdoor use I'll check into the car bra material. Although I know the better covers on the market are made using silver sunbrella canvas but has some sort of soft material bonded to the inside.

    Rochford supply carries Soft Touch by Odyssey. It is an acrylic woven poly with a soft non -woven backer of 100% poly. scratch resistance backer.

    I've used this before, marine covering with a soft backing. Several colors. https://www.trivantage.com/aqualon-edge-soft-fabric-marine-charcoal-grey-60-in-style-5918es-774610-item
