How about a cloth bowl? I got one from belfrybat in a secret pal swap and it is adorable. She said she made it at a class and I use it when I'm hand stitching to put my cut threads in, in other words, I use it as a trash bowl. I do most of hand stitching while watching TV and it collapses so I can put it in my sewing tote. I'm sure if you didn't want to contact her you could google it and find something about it there.
