I like to make fabric cases out of some of the fabric that I'm using in a project, then fill them with my pieces and instructions of a project, then them in a drawer. That way, it's easy to know what the project is inside the case. Plastic bags are OK, but they get kind of gooey after awhile.

I'm not sure I could even downsize that much. I have a big home and big sewing room and love not being cramped. I'm glad that you're good with it and both of you will get to do something you enjoy.

I am pretty good at pulling them and backing them up. My husband tells me a 5th wheel is easier than a pull behind trailer so I’m not too worried. We will ( before the big step) be doing more traveling and I will get some practice in.
