My very-very basic front-zip PFD doesn't have any pockets, so I tied a 1 ft nylon shoe-lace to a whistle and sewed the other end to the outside edge of fabrique at the neck opening about 3" above the end of zipper and 2-3" aside it. (At the edge you can sew through 2 layers of fabrique). Lace is short enough not to cause any danger, and long enough to pull whistle to the mouth. Sometimes (when I walk) it is swinging and dangling around, then I simpy throw it inside into bosom or through the armpit.
