My actual obi is tied on the back with the help of a little part of velcro.
I am planning modifications as I don't like how it goes...
I'd like to know how you guys have your obi hold in place correctly?

how do you place your velcro? I had one slice in the middle, but the borders turn on the belt and it shows... I don't like that.
I though of adding velcro on the corners, but I would need more velcro on the part underneat, and velcro would show (not same color as fabric)...
I might add a hard piece on the edge of the obi, or add something to hold'em together.

Mine is simply tied in place, like a traditional Japanese obi, and the knot concealed at the back beneath the utility belt

I have ties on the ends of my obi. And the end edges are angled so they form a point in the middle. With the belt over it that means the ends don't stick out and I wear it with the end on the side where I have a belt pouch.
My obi is sewn in a particular way. The tutorials aren't up yet on the TJA page, but Kai put them on her page and mine is at:
home.comcast.net/~jedikai/TJA.html
My obi has a hole in it through which the ties go and I can tuck them in to hide them as well. I've tried a plain rectangle of cloth and it just never stays in place; there has to be something that ties down the ends.

I tried to make it like in the pattern you showed, or have it go like a japanese traditionnal, but I couldn't make it work good... at the end I made it rectangle. BUT... the end edges are angled so they form a point in the middle. For some reason, I didn't think of making it simply pointy... I feel kinda stupid. I'll have the overlapping end V-shaped, and velcro underneat. That should look good ennough. Thanks for the tips.

My obi is four meters long, and then ties with a reef knot at the back As long as you've got enough material, it works fine, as the utility belt then conceals the knot

I borrowed the sash/obi for that Tutorial from here: www.rebellegion.com/jedigarb/tabardobi.htmlI have done it both ways....cutting it all as one big piece.... and ....if I didn't have enough fabric.... I sewed the ties separately....and stitched them on to the rest of the Obi.... I had to futz around with it on scrud paper too until I finally got it right....then I kept the best of the "futzes" as a pattern....

Mine is velcro so I can adjust it as I need to.

I make mine like Mon-Jas's. SIcne I didn't know they tend to roll -up with onyl two layers of fabric, I'll make the enxt one with four layers and maybe a little interfacing to curtail bad rolling. I do have 4 Obis that are just stripes of fa bric from the sc.rap from the tunics. There wasn't enough to make hte ties so they'er secured with velcro. Both types look great.

Mine is a traditional Obi. The centre of the Obi goes on my waist with the edges going back around my waist, comes back to the front then tied, with the knot concealed beneath my utility belt.
I never fail to get sigh of amazement and admiration from fellow costumers when I remove my utility belt and they realise my Obi is not held in place with pins or velcro.

hehe, isn't that great? :-D The traditional Obi in my opinion is the best one to do. Nothing to strech out, or lose(pins velcro snaps) nothing to tear, except MAYBE the ties, but you'd have to be playing serious 'tug'o war' with a big dog to do that. 'Mine!" "Ruff!" 'Mine!" "Grrr ruff!" Riiiiiiiiip. Awww maaan. :-D hehee. Or cats swinging or climbing up the tabbords or over robe like Tarzan with it on me. No kidding they do that. Now do you have a bit of interfacing in the larger part of your obi Plo?

What's the trick to make a traditionnal japanese obi? It's really easy You take a four meter length of material, that's about 40 cm wide (when folded in half lengthways) Then you wrap it around your waist a few times, and fasten it with a reef knot at the back It's as easy as that
