Adding pockets to sweatpants that I love but currently have no pockets?

Hi!
I have a pair of sweatpants that are roomy and soft. They also have a fun pattern. Would it be possible to do add pockets to them? I don’t want the pockets as an add-on piece on the front. Maybe I could seam rip a bit of the edges and use some thin fabric to make a pocket? The end goal is to be able to carry my phone around with me instead having to set it down all the time and then forgetting where I put it.

If this is a possibility, do y’all have a particular tutorial or pattern that you enjoy? Also something to remember: I’m mediocre at best with sewing, but I do own a regular machine.

I’d ask my ma to do this, but she’s super busy and I’d like to get this accomplished sooner than summertime.
