I have a few cheap airline style suitcases (small ones) with wheels on them. I store everything I need for the project inside the bag and side pockets. The case is ready to wheel away for a craft meeting or sewing day with friends. No dust gets on it and usually nothing gets lost. It fits in the boot of my car neatly and stacks in any handy place I can find in my flat. Hope that helps for an idea. For smaller projects and craft irons, I put them inside the make - up carry cases.
