Pants or Skirt with a Pocket Opening

How would you design pants with no zipper, but a button opening at the side front where a slash pocket would be?

In PMB I would select a front zipper opening, the leg style that you want and the slash pockets. I would use the "pocket" pieces for facings. The waisband then wraps around from the outside edge of one pocket all of the way around and then into the pocket (underneath the other edge). The other pocket edge would either be usable with buttons on the top edge to match, or just decoration.
Beverly submitted this design.

The side of the pocket nearest CF is left open from the waistband to just above the curve of the pocket. The back part of the waistband is extended to the entire length of the under pocket. The buttonhole is put at the end of the front part of the waistband.
Added by Wild Ginger:
For a inseam side pocket use the Trouser pocket back pattern for the front and back pocket bag. This could also be done using the Trouser style pocket opening for the front of your pants.
