Interfacing (I prefer iron on type cos of laziness;p)
The measurements for the sash will be your waist measurement plus 10-20 cm more for closure allowance for the length and 18-20 cm depending on yr preference for the width. Cut this rectangle on fold so that will make it double layer n iron on the interfacings. For the interfacing u can use light weight to medium weight. If you used interfacings that is too stiff, the obi sash will not look n fit nicely on, n avoid papery types as that will cause ugly paper crease on the sash as well.
Next, sew along the seam allowances along the length and turn the wrong sides in forming a tube shape. Next, fold the width sides seam allowances in, press and sew.
Now for the gathers, you can use the remnant fabric n cut into strips of 8 cms (seam allowance of 2 cm included) fold the strips lengthwise n press. Hem the raw edges n baste 2 rows of stitches within the seam allowance of the raw edges. Pull the 2 top stitches to gather the strips. Adjust the gathers n spread them evenly. Then u can sew the gathers to the main sash. The base is done. You can either finish the closure using Velcro or snaps. And paint on the white designs on the sash. I have cut out the white dress pattern pcs n will touch on it I'm tml tutorial post. Keep a look out for them n hope all this info helps.
