I like the hinge mechanism worked into the handle. This should keep it closed as well as make it easier to open. It might also make sense to put a bend in the handle. It may even make sense to crisscross the handles so that when it's closed they're pulling against each other.
Maybe put a magnet somewhere to hold needles.
It may also be possible to arrange the spools on something like a hinge rack so they fold up compactly in the box but can be displayed while working. Actually, the same hinge mechanism can be used. 3 racks, each holding 5x3 pegs. I think the setup there would be 2 wings on top (for small storage) then store all the spools in the bottom so that they can pull out when in use.
I'd also like to put a protected razor blade in it somewhere for cutting thread. Use a standard blade so it can be replaced.
Be sure to time the project.
