some small plastic tupperware or tupperware-like containers can hold quite a bit.
or even an altoids type container - can hold a bobbin of thead, needles, pins, a small scissor, and thimble - the advantage of that over a plastic bag, is that holes won't get poked in it

I use a hard eyeglass container for needle, pins, embroidery floss or bobbin with thread, tiny scissors. I've glued a piece of magnetic strip on one side to keep the needles and pins in place. Incidentally, I keep crochet hooks in the soft varity of eyeglass containers. Also a good place for a rotaty cutter.

For years I carried a tote which contained a small quilt. I love to hand quilt, but I didn't want anything big.
I only worked on the quilt while waiting in a doctor, dentist, pediatrician, or orthodontist office. Amazingly, (the wait was always so long) I was able to quilt the entire thing in great detail in about 5 years.
I carried the quilt, a medium size hoop, needles, thread, and small scissors.
I'm glad I had that tote project with me. Just think of all the time that I would have wasted in waiting rooms!
After that project, I carried assorted balls of yarn, scissors, and a crochet hook. I made squares. Now I am in the process of crocheting them together into blanket.
I need to get another tote put together!
