Step 9Build battery pocket, attach to lining
The battery pocket should be slightly bigger than your battery pack, but not too much bigger since you don't want it to move or bounce around a lot while you're wearing it. For example, allow about 1" extra on three sides, and 2" extra on the side where the velcro closure will be. Cut out the pocket from fabric that matches the lining. Finish the edges with an overlock or zigzag stitch, and sew the velcro strip along one edge of the pocket.
Position the pocket where it will go on the lining (near the battery pack) - sew the matching velcro strip on the lining, then sew the pocket in place.
You can substitute a button, snap, or other closure for the pocket, but it is important to have a way of keeping the battery pack from falling out and dangling, since this can damage the connecting wires.
