Needlework carrier Keep your embroidery in an old handbag, but make sure it’s clean first. Store needles, cotton or wool, scissors and other supplies in its various compartments.
Clothes peg holder Slip the bag’s handle over the line to keep your pegs handy, or attach the handbag to the line with a clothes peg.
Tool carrier Keep a handbag filled with emergency tools in the boot of your car; choose a bag which is light and easy to carry, and wrap the tools in fabric to stop them rattling.
