Small box wiith pin cushion, scissors, seam ripper, and other sewing tools. There's not much space on the table. Then I have a tall chest of drawers with room for patterns, some scrap fabrics, interfacing, to the right of the table. To the left under the table, I have a nightstand sized chest with the sewing machine accessories, button box, bias tape, large spools of thread. I keep a smaller moveable chest on the table with zippers, safety pins, more bottoms and other fasteners, needles, ... If you're just building, I would leave a little more space on the right, maybe about the size of a file tray (a sheet of letter size paper), so stuff wouldn't fall off the table.
I have spindles for spools of thread and a bulletin board on the wall behind the machine.
