How to Convert a One Piece Swim Suit to a Two Piece

"How to convert a one piece swim suit to a two piece. This easy bathing suit fix is perfect if you have a long torso and the swim suit doesn’t fit right. As I’ve mentioned in my post about converting my other swim suit’s tankini top into a bikini, we had a couple of beach trips for the summer and I didn’t really have swimsuits that fit great. I decided to make my first attempts at working with swim fabric an upcycle project, for fear of ruining brand new swim fabric. This ended up being a really reasonable sewing project, particularly with the assistance of my serger and cover stitch machines. But I think you could easily do the project with a regular sewing machine, as long as you use a stretch stitch."
