[Sewing] Obi-like waist belt



Well, I bought a wa-lolita set, as you might know at this time. The thing is, I didn't liked the obi-like waist belt it came with. Besides too small, it had an annoying velcro, almost the size of a headdress, that looked horrible and was ready to murder whatever fabric came near it. So, I thought, why not make a new one?
I had some material here, so I tried my best. I kinda finished it some weeks ago, but I thought it needed more interfacing, so today I opened the whole thing again and thickened the waist part. Now it looks good.
For the bow part, I got inspired by some bows I saw on the back of kimonos a while ago.
To avoid the sticky velcro, I used heart shaped buttons I took from a Bodyline skirt that was missing the waist ties. I made elastic hooks on the belt, so it's very comfortable.
And, that's it. Man, it has ages I don't sew! 
I'm kinda happy to get rid of some things that were in my fabric pile, but there's still a lot of material there, oh no.
