Oh, I just got what you mean. I thought you cut a pattern from somewhere, and were trying to add it over the existing seat pattern. You could make a separate file, paste just the gradient fill, save it, then “place” from that… that would let you use the warp tool. ---

Looks good, another way would have been to desaturate what you were going to put the pattern over, then put the pattern on, lower the opacity of the pattern layer, then use dodge and burn to make it look right. Probably shorter ways, but that’s what I would’ve done. ---
