have a hollowed-out PS3 Fat shell that I’d like to upcycle primarily through sewing and textile work rather than just turning it into a display piece.

I have black, brown, and beige-colored faux leather available, along with sewing supplies. My idea is to first cut all the leftover plastic on top using a dremel so I can safely work fabric and leather inside it, then use the shell as something creative.

Some ideas I’ve been thinking about:

  • An oversized key-drop / key-holder bag
  • A bag or purse built around the PS3 shell
  • A strange wearable fashion accessory
  • A leather-covered pouch/storage piece
  • Some kind of lamp with a sewn leather/textile exterior
  • Combining different leather colors and visible stitching to make the PS3 shape part of the design

I’m not really sure where to take it yet, so I’d love some sewing-focused ideas. What would you make if you had this weird plastic shell and a few pieces of faux leather?

I’m especially interested in ideas involving patterns, panels, stitching, padding, straps, closures, or ways of attaching the fabric/leather to the shell.
