I live in Ohio but winter in FL. I bring my sewing machine and serger with me and have some basic sewing supplies I keep in FL. I bought a tackle box at Walmart to carry my rotary cutters, sewing machine needles, safety pins, various measuring tools and other odds and ends I don't use often but like to have on hands. It works great and I have a place to store my tools in FL since I have limited space to sew in my condo. I leave an old cutting mat and ruler in Fl and bought new ones for home. This works well for me
