I see baskets with lids and a handle all the time at Joanns. The one I have is a black basket with a black and white Toile padded fabric top. They have them on sale often or you can use a coupon for one if it's not on sale already. Maybe your Joanns ran out of them. They are usually very easy to find there. I was at Joanns yesterday and walked right by some.
I've even seen them at Walmart in their sewing department if your store still carries sewing supplies.
You don't have to spend a fortune on a sewing basket. You can put the money to better use...like more fabric stash. lol
Found some all fabric ones but their website shows many more than this.
