I'd like to make a cross body pocket bag - something along these lines (https://www.vvprime.com/products/personal-pocket-bag?fbclid=IwAR3F_l85epjnV_rgnvZ8PVeaPXKilPKSAxTVhEeI3MUO0SdZDys_piMOJb4) 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 (https://ithinksew.com/Products/Categories/Bags) 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.

How about this one on the Sew4Home site? Slim Crossbody Shoulder Pouch (https://sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/slim-crossbody-shoulder-pouch-dritz-belting-and-hardware). 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. :)
