I keep mine in a cute make up bag from the dollar store. It is large enough for the 8" hoop, the fabric, and some floss (I do keep the floss in the snack size zip locks.) and a small pair of scissors.
I keep my needles in a pencil lead holder - the kind that come with mechanical pencils.
Might see what you can find that fits your style. The soft sides make it flat and easy to pack, carry, or store. I can even slip mine into my purse when I head out.
