Welcome to the QB! You are one brave soul attempting to patch the leg of pants right off the top but it can be done. Pin the patch first to the place you want it to be. Rolling the more open part and the farthest part of the pants each way till you have only the area where you need to make the repair. You will have fabric bulk to work around. Sew the patch in place. This is a challenge for the most experienced sewer. The invention of the sleeve arm made this process much easier. The tighter the pants the more difficult the patch job becomes.
