I found one like yours at a thrift store without the tray. I use a metal tin for my needles, scissors, thread and pins for my apple core blocks. I have several plastic templates to use in cutting this pattern in the bottom of my basket with small pieces of fabric. And on top are the cut templates, it's a chore to cut these out so I cut some, mark them, sew some. Right now I have two rows sewed and I'm able to fold them and put them in the basket. As the top gets larger, I will fold it and put it in a bag nearby. With hand sewing, there isn't much you need, as far as I know. I layer my various items with the tin on top and the uncut fabric and templates on the bottom. The cut out fabric is in the middle.
