I downloaded a pattern and then modified it to my liking. It is very easy. Basic patter calls for just cut one 24x13 inch retangle and two 13x8inch ( for the pockets). the pattern called for velcro, but that stuff is nasty after a while.So, I opted to use heavy no sew snaps. Because my fabric was lightwt, I decided to quilt the pocket to bulk it up. I also doubled the 24x13 to give it two layers. Added the machine emb to brighten it up.
The patter does call for using " sturdy fabric" such as upholstery, denim or corduroy. But I used what I had. Thats why I opted to semi quilt the pockets.
