What I did was make a thing with pockets to place my sewing stuff in. I made it the width of how long my sewing machine is. Then I made the length long enough to fold over to make the pockets. Remember the pockets don't need to be that deep. I believe I made 6-7 of these pockets. In one I have my clippers, another pencils, another stitch ripper, another small sewing scissors, another short little rulers and lastly my rotary cutter. I love it because everything is at my finger tips just beneath my sewing machine. Easy to grap and put back. Oh it is keep in place by placing your sewing machine over the other end. Just make sure it is long enough to go under the machine, hand down a bit and to make the pockets.
