Toile Leggings, first attempt

Front and back top panels for leggings cut out in Calico from patterns I produced.

Front and back middle and bottom panels, middle will be made in fish net in my final garment so I must take this into consideration when manufacturing.
Front leg panel manufactured together, I am pretty sure I have out the middle panel in back to front and I do not think a persons leg bends like this...
Back panels manufactured together, positive I have got all these the right way.  Proven to be very confusing when both sides of the calico look exactly the same...
 I decided to top stitch where to panels attach together, trapping the seam above or below the middle panel (so that when manufactured in the final fabric no seams are visible through the mesh).
 Originally I was going to put a seam into the side seam but this wont be necessary as my final fabric (which was purchased after this toile) it stretch velvet so no zips will be needed.  as you can see the panel do not line up, I think this is because the middle panel on the front leg is on back to front which I mentioned earlier.  I am going to have to do another toile for these leggings and take this into consideration as well as not using any zips due to the nature of my final fabric.
