A sewing machine inspired by the Game Boy Color? Indeed, such a device exists and is known as the Singer IZEK 1500. This unique sewing machine was packaged with the handheld console, featuring a built-in Link Cable and a selection of Game Boy Color cartridges designed for creating sewing patterns on garments, including designs like the Mario family.

I remember reading about stuff like this in Nintendo Power, like the Miracle piano keyboard for NES, and I think there was an exercise bike for SNES...

I think Rock Band was the last hurrah for weird console accessories.

Could be some decent cash in selling it, even if it’s just for parts.
