TreeDodger72 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 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. https://darkvadermom72.shutterfly.com/pictures/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks ok. Remember once you have the cummerbund on, the "thong" will raise that patch up into the proper position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeDodger72 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
