About 3 times a year I actually make something practical, and this week was one of those times. I put on a fall jacket that I wear to work and remembered that it had no pockets. I decided that because I work with children I could have a calico pocket. I measured it to be a little bigger than my phone and just went for it.

I am not a tailor by any means, but it does hold my phone nicely. I liked it so much that I added one to my little house coat as well.

Have you ever made anything practical? What are you making?
