Can someone check this riding patch mock up for me?

I am working on getting this thigh patch template sized correctly for my build and wanted to get some opinions as to any adjustments I need to make before I cut and sew the suede. I have a front view, back view and inseam view photo. I want to make sure the patch is coming out far enough onto the front and back of the thigh and is not too close to the knee. Please let me know what you think.

Do I need to sew the elastic all the way around the leg, or just attach it to the suede patch in the front and back?

 

I sew the elastic all the way around the leg. I tack it down with 3-4 stiches by hand at the middle leg seam. This way its in place when you sew the riding patch down. The leg bands are there & wil be secured properly by the sewing machine stiching. In essece a 2 for 1.

Also on the middle crotch seam meassure down 2 inches on each side of the leg & mark with a sewing pencil/soap marker. Place the top of the elastic here, pin & add your 3-4 tack stiches.(don't forget to remove the pin) This wil give you the perfect height on the leg bands.
