  Step 1

  First cut a piece of fabric to the shape that you want.
  Cut a piece the same shape for the lining.

• 

  Step 2

  Grab a piece of fabric from the scraps to make a pocket.
  Attach at an angle - this is for a right-handed person, so angle it so their hands can go in easily.
  Before I attached it, I trimmed it with some gothic grosgrain ribbon.

• 

  Step 3

  attach as many pockets as you want.
  This one ends up on the back of the hip and is the right size as my phone.
  I trimmed it with pre-gathered lace before I attached it.

• 

  Step 4

  When you are happy with the number of pockets attached, then add some darts around the top, to make it fit the body easily.
  I just pinched about 1cm and sewed a dart. I did 3 - one at the side front, one at the side, and one at the back. The side one is longer than the others.

• 

  Step 5

  grab some scraps to make a tube.
  Thread the 2 D rings through the tube and pin to side front panel.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut a length of fabric for the strap - I just cut it from selvedge to selvedge.
  Sew it length wise and turn it right side out.
  press.
  Attach to the back of the apron.

• 

  Step 7

  Attach the lining panel and sew.
  Trim and cut corners.
  Turn right side out and press.

• 

  Step 8

  Add trims if desired.
  ready to wear!!

• 

  Step 9

  The back/side view - or it could end up on your front Left hip.

Thanks! I actually love my variation rather than the original. And I'm making some to sell on etsy - in my shop Kazuritribe... In lots of different colours... but I am partial to the gothic theme... so lots of different colours so long as they are black, white and red.
;)
