A Janome Jem lives in the trunk of my car for sewdays and classes. It's in a rolling tote and I set the tote in a laundry basket. There is room for a tote bag of sewing notions, extension cord and my iron bucket. It all fits in the laundry basket. I don't have to pack anything when it's time to go sew except my fabric. The laundry basket keeps everything upright and in place.
