Thanks for your comment. I was just wondering ... are you japanese ? How close do you think I am to the traditional obi belt ?

I love the kimono, but I can't afford it. So I'm making one right now, but I don't have a real idea of the construction process. Maybe you can help me out ... Thanks

Dude,you didnt show us the BACK!!!!!!!!!! -.-

Very creative ^^ thank you for your tutorial ! It's not a formal belt but it really helped alot since it's more easy to tie compared to the traditional and formal ones =_=" thank you ^^ i appreciate it !

I loved the tutorial, but the only thing I don't like is. Could you insert little boxes that tell us exactly how to do some of the cutting? And the sewing for that matter? It would make it a lot easier :D

[cmhermoso]

what materials did you use? :)

[happywithmusic]

can you do a tutorial showing how you sewed the edges :D cause i cant get the hang of it

[deedeliciouse]

@lylithrose just wondering how i would be able to get the ribbons out once they are stuffed inside. would it i need to make a slit in the stitching to pull them through?

[meowishkat]

how long would the ribbon need to be for tieing up!!??

[XAFinalFantasyX]

I love this!!!!! And what is the song called? :O i luv it!

I tried to make this but it looks really messy tied at the back. The width is 5 inches larger than waist (although a bit less once stitched) so it means once tied, the rounded ends cross and it just looks dreadful. Am I doing something wrong? Do you have a picture of how you tied this at the back? Am thinking of making it shorter so the rounded ends just meet, also using interfacing. Any help would be most appreciated and thanks for a great tuorial.
