Free Obi Belt Instructions Sources

This poor post has been sitting unpublished for years.  I love the look of a cinched waist:  it’s one of the few style devices that keep me from looking pregnant on any given day.  Below are links to three really good obi belt tutorials.

• Simplicity has instructions for 2 different styles of wide cinch belts. They are not exactly obis, but will do in a pinch.
• Craftstylish has a good article on a 1 hour obi-esque sash.
• Adventures in the Art of Sewing has a very nice tutorial as well.
