What about a "movable pocket?" Mary Mulari does these. It's basically a
pocket with some type of closure at the top, like a zipper. Then a band
with button holes or loops at the very top. Then you put buttons on your
shirt, shorts, wherever you want. That allows you to button on the pocket
wherever you want it. In her book (Accessories with Style) she even talks
about using shank buttons. Those can be safety pinned to your garment so
you can move the pockets even easier. Oh and the zipper on the pocket
keeps things secure in there since the pocket is outside the garment and
could flop around.
Too, what kind of shirt? T-shirt shape or camp shirt shape? buttons on
front? Oh and "hanky" pocket or "extra golf ball" pocket?
And you might not be anticipating warm weather by too much! Hasn't this
just been the weirdest weather? We've had a couple days here lately that
would have been warm enough for shorts in the afternoon. The little gal
from Indiana is just so confused by this weather. lol
