They have great storage and totes at the hardware store. I have two. One for quilting and one for hand stitching of all kinds. They are open which is best for me because I have to see my tools. I spent around $10 for each. They are black and will last forever. Grab and go and I have everything I need.
I got an art tote from an art supply store for big mat and rulers. Has a handle and shoulder strap.
