Mommy Pouch for under $1

This is a mommy pouch that I actually want to keep! Before kids I taught music and got this idea from a fellow teacher. It was a lifesaver when I was teaching. I would always need this and that during the day and didn’t want to interrupt teaching a lesson to grab a kleenex or a pen. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get around to doing this during my next teaching career with my own children as the students! It took a whole 6 minutes. This would be handy for any mom who is at home and running around keeping all the plates spinning. But, if you’ve ever taught children (especially your own children) you know how much it can take to get their attention in a lesson and how quickly that attention can run away if you turn your back for a second. When I’m homeschooling I often have had to run out to grab this or that, this is a great way to have it right there with me. Also, when I’m cooking I can stick a little towel in there to wipe my hands.
3 things you’ll need:

Lowe’s canvas apron for 98 cents
scrap fabric
iron-on stitch.

 Fold and iron the fabric to fit over the front. Attach the fabric to the apron with the iron-on stitch.

Stuff it with your “this and that”. I put in my phone to use for music and a timer, pencil and notebook to write down all those ideas I hardly have time for, gold stars because kids seem to do anything for a gold star, kleenex (of course) and band-aids because Grant falls a lot and he thinks he’s bleeding every time and a band-aid makes him feel better.

Mom’s ready now! Try to get distracted now, kids…
