matching stripes for sailboat pants

I've got a great stripe for the sailboat pants- a heavy cotton with a thin grey stripe sewn into it.


I understand about matching the pattern pieces to align the stripes of the pant legs, but I am wondering what will happen when I attach the "side-front" panel.


I think I should use the notches to align the pattern piece to the same part of the fabric design, but I haven't yet made these and worry it will be off by a smidge and look terrible.


Any advice?
