Have not been to BigLots for over a couple years but guess I better stop by the store soon. When I was there, I got the Fiscar sewing suitcase (for last of better wording.) DH spotted it first and I kind of said I really did not need it. Wrong! We got it and I carry it to Project Linus or Guild sewing days all the time. The lid has sleeves big enough to keep rulers and smaller cutting mats flat and safe, plenty of room below for fabric and sewing utensils and my purse for rolling under all the tables set up for sewing. Like I say, I best stop by BL again as I did not know they now handled fabric. Thanks for the clues Debbie.
