Someone gave me a little pin/needle case made of cloth with wool felt as a lining. Its great to carry around. Also, I have a tomato style pin cushion for both used machine needles and one for regular needles. You can mark the sections of the tomato with sizes or uses and stick the appropriate needle in each section. I also have some tins with flat adhesive magnets on the bottom that I use for weird sizes like gihugic doll needles.
Those are my methods....hope one or two of them work for you!
