I have a little metal and plastic folding container that my late friend kitty bought me. It is perfect with all the outside pockets and the space inside for the project I am embroidering. It is similar to the old wooden knitting bag of long ago. It seems to me I have seen it for sale at Nancy's Notions. Very handy. I also use a Hat box that my other friend bought me that goes with the décor of my family room. It holds much larger items and is easy to leave out without making the room look messy.
