Cross-body pocket bag pattern wanted

I'd like to make a cross body pocket bag - something along these lines but much slimmer, not so chunky. It's not for travelling or anti-theft, mainly for walking and tour guiding days - when I want to carry my phone, wallet and light rainhat - mostly under a jacket or gilet - but don't want to wear a shoulder bag or backpack.

Has anyone here come across a pattern like this? I can't find one and I'm not a great one for improvisation - I'm much better following instructions :)

Like these images but maybe 2/3 the size:

iThinkSew has a lot of bag patterns, and I think I spot at least one cross-body one in there.  They have quite a lot of free patterns too, but I'm not sure whether they have one in that section.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

How about this one on the Sew4Home site?  Slim Crossbody Shoulder Pouch.  They have some other crossbody bags on the site but this one is the slimmest.

My feeling exactly! @Acorn I haven't found exactly what I want on there but goodness, a million great patterns, thanks.  :)

@sleepingwolf that looks ideal - and it's free - and great instructions. And it would be easy to enlarge it slightly if needed. (It needs to hold car keys too, I forgot about those.) I'll print that off and look at it. Thanks a mil.
Edit: actually I love the jacket on the model - have the pattern and the fabric already so just need a grey zip. :)
