I don't have enough room in my sewing room to set up my cutting table, so I do that in the living room. I bought a square (well almost) pink tool caddy at Sears and I just put whatever I need in it and take it to the living room with me. When I am done I just put it back in my caddy and return it to my sewing room. It has a metal handle and several pockets on the outside. It measures about 12 1/2 inches X 10 inches and about 10 inches high at the handle. Perfect size and very sturdy. I got it on sale for $12.00. Works great for me. Keeps everything at my fingertips and easy to stick in my sewing room if I need to stash it away.
I hope you find the solution to your dilemma.
