Abstract: A pocket includes a body having a front side and a back side. The back side of the pocket has an adhesive material disposed over the back face. The adhesive material is covered by a removable wrapper that when removed exposes the adhesive on the back of the pocket. The pocket may then be secured to flat surface of a notebook, binder or the like by pressing the adhesive material into said surface. The pocket has a cavity that is accessible through an opening on the front side of the body. A stretchable lanyard cord is removably connected to the bottom of the pocket through a reinforced opening. The stretchable cord has a band at the distal end to receive a writing utensil. The pencil pocket is useful for tethering a writing utensil to a surface for easy access.
