I absolutely would not want a BAG for most of those items. I have a cosmetic kit that matches a set of luggage that I no longer use. I would put my tools and things in that. I know it will not hold everything, but the smaller things like seam ripper, thread, needles, etc. will be easily in sight when I open the lid. Iron, ironing pad, etc. larger items will go in a big bag that will be totally unpacked and stuff set up ready to use. The misc. stuff that needs to be available if/when needed will be lost in a flexible bag. I want the big lid that opens to reveal entire contents - including chocolate and tea cup!
