Remaking a bag into a fanny pack

I was given an opportunity to remake a bag into a fanny pack. 

It was a shoulder bag (I forgot to take a before photo), and now it's a fanny pack. 
First, I had to use a beloved seam ripper to take out the seams that were holding the shoulder strap, and I also removed a pair of hand straps because my clients said he didn't need them any more. 

There were some seams from the body of the bag that had to be sewn, so I did that, too. Then, I placed the shoulder straps to different places (on the sides but higher up) so that he can wear it around his hips. 

The remake was done, and the bag that was a little hard to use became something that is easier to carry.
