My sewing stuff is in a tool box I got from Home Depot. I have another one for my knitting needles and stuff. My sewing maching is in a rolling bag made for tools. I think I spend just as much time at Home Depot as my LQS, maybe more since it is closer.

I just bought plastic boxes from Big Lots today they had a good selection. Storage for bobbins and extra parts as well as fabric.

I have small "squishy" lunch totes and small traveling cosmetic bags that I use. The cosmestic bag usually has separated zipper sides to it, so you can put fabric in one side and sharps in the other side.

I like the plastic containers from WalMart with the clamps that hold the lids in place. I have several sizes and its easy to carry just what I need with me when I go out.

I vote for the tool box or tackle box. Either would be very "manly." :)

I just use a box that has a latch, zippy baggies assorted for soft items, old pin boxes, or other reusable containers for sharps, in the latch box, thrown in a backpack/napsack. Aren't you glad this can be a portable hobby. :)

I use the plastic boxes that my spinach and salad stuff comes in from the grocery store. Nice size for small projects, cut pieces, rolls of ribbon, etc. They are see through and stack nicely and the price is right.

New pizza boxes work well for completed blocks. Most pizza places will let you have a couple for free or maybe a very minimal price if you tell them why you are asking for a clean, unused one. This size keeps your pressed blocks nice and flat.
