I looked till I found a cookie tin that was big enough for my iron to sit in... it is not deep enough to put a lid on but i just put a couple of old hot pads under the tin, then drew around and added a half inch for seams... put cute 'sewing' themed fabric as the outside 'drawstring' bag... no matter how hot it gets, it's fine, the hotpads protect the cover from the bottom of the tin, when hot, and the bag protects the whole thing from dust... the tin is oval but that was just a fluke so hunt in those thrift stores... you will find a tin that is big enough. Mine is still roomy enough for the hot 'end' of my mini iron as it unplugs from the handle...
