I've traveled with hexies, although not on a plane.P Even though the airlines supposedly have relaxed the rules, I'd be afraid to travel with sewing scissors, afraid of losing them. I'd travel with one of the Clover pendants on a necklace. That should work.
Packing a large sewing basket into a carryon bag seems excessive. I have a small over the arm sewing kit with a pin cushion in the center and two pockets which have thread, needles, and usually scissors. It looks about 1/4 the size of your sewing box. I would also consider putting the sewing stuff into zip-loc bags for flying. They can be crushed down and packed into limited space.
