If you are a sewing or craft type person

[crochetmonkey74]

Hello
I've joined a craft club which I'm enjoying. We meet at a cafe with big tables. I'm struggling to find the best way to carry my craft supplies what do you guys use? Currently using a tote , but it's not organised at all. The crafts I do are sketching, watercolour (I have a little set and pens with the water in barrel) some small hamd sewing projects and felting. So all small projects, I also like to have a few projects on the go so would want to take them all with me.
The closest I've thought would suit is a top opening zip around vanity case but with sections. What do I need? A camera bag? Any help gratefully received!

Fishing bags. 🙂

(Tool bags are also excellent, but generally more expensive as designed to carry more weight.)

Go to Hobbycraft and have a browse. That will give you some idea of features you like the look of.

I have different bags for different types of projects or journeys. I'm not keen on the ones with open pouches around them. They're great for working from, but not for transportation. This one from Lidl is great for yarn projects, and I think it will be very useful for quilting, too. Pretty sure it's available on Amazon.

Shopping trolley, keep each craft separate and then use the trolley. Although the cafe needs to have space for one

I saw a trolley in hobbycraft that was like a little set of drawers on wheels. I liked that but thought it was too big but actually, a little trolley could work

I use boxes and jars of various shapes and sizes for my craft items; I have a long pencil-box sized gift box a friend gave me a necklace in for Christmas which is fantastic for my pencils and brushes. A ferrero rocher box has sewing kit in it. Empty plastic Horlicks jars have buttons in them. I've made small zip up bags from fabric for crochet yarn, hook and scissors. Yes you can buy purpose made kit bags but I have found they aren't as adaptable as 'the perfect' co tainer and a large tote bag.

(The cheap option btw is see through large pencil cases, and Ikea 'fabric' shoe boxes, in a computer bag.)

I have to move multiple small making items both from different creative fields, and relating to different clients projects, to meetings etc and look organized.
Includes sketch book, watercolors, spray bottles, ink pens, felting supplies, and sewing equipment amongst other items. Keeping dry items and items that can leak, separated in quality double seal bags, or similar is important if you're juggling a lot.

If you want something on wheels there are also lots of tool/craft box modules on wheels.

Ooh this sounds great
What sort of computer bag do you mean
Will Google the craft modules on wheels

I love Systema lunchboxes and food storage boxes for small-to-medium projects, or parts of projects, as they stack very well.

Really Useful Boxes are another excellent range. I have several stacks of wheeled 'drawers' where the drawers are actually lidded boxes, so I can just pull one out and take it away with me. You can also get sorting tray inserts for these boxes. Excellent for all the little bits and bobs. I wish they'd do inserts with just long compartments - would be perfect for knitting needles.

I have a fishing tackle box for equipment and then yarn/fabric etc just goes in a clean tote bag.

I added an additional compartment (for my laptop😀) to a nice deep OIWAS computer/messenger bag, which have good straps. (something that I need for disability reasons) and you can get a lot in it and still look vaguely professional.

I love doing crafts I like making bracelets which I do from home

Personally its a mix, sometimes i use a fishing style bag similar to the eariler posts for carrying phones, tablets, wallets etc,

for laptop and or writing pad and equipment its backpack

for heavier items then use those business case or business trolley on wheels that are deep but manageable

my preference are those sewing machine tote / trolley on wheels however they retail around £200 on amazon. (they are perfect for crafts) its the long slim ones with the large pull handle
