First you would need some weight, or to anchor it.  Things like drapery
weights (essentially large washers would be of some help.  They could be
contained within stitched squares (at least in the corners) with plastic
needlepoint mesh for the core, and fabric surround (and perhaps with very thin
batt or flannel as interlayer).  Then shove it into the bottom, as you would
want to remove it for washing, or make a zippered closing and you can add or
remove weights, as desired.
I would suggest you consider one or two elastic anchors at the bottom corners,
that would go around your leg/thigh.  Since many women wear pants/slacks, it
shouldn't be a problem, other than a crease or two (and you can make a tuck in
them to alleviate some of that).  Grosgrain ribbon (perhaps two layers) with D
rings would make for something adjustable too, or merging the elastic with the
ribbon may work best.
Hope this helps,Susan Reishus
