How to fix a mistake and make 2 items instead of one!!!

I made this skirt and just loved it, it only had one problem I needed to lose about 10 lbs. to be able to where it. I stewed over it and stewed over it. Trying to figure out what to do! I thought I could sell it. But I just loved it. I could make it a top for myself. Well, I still have to lose about 4 inches across my chest. Didn't want to that either. Than I had a break-through!

I'll will make a skirt for Tara. It looked so sweet. The bottom was used for this part.

I made a back pack to use with my bike. It works perfectly. I used the top part!
