Requirements to create the tank top
  • 1-2 meters of latex sheeting. I use 0,5 mm latex. See list of suppliers here →
  • Liquid latex milk (=glue)
  • Cotton swaps
  • Printer. To print your pattern (PDF comes with the course) or you can print at a print shop
  • A roller cutter + cutting board (alternatively scissors)
  • Gel pen (or something similar)
  • Heavy seam roller (optional)
  • Kitchen plastic film/wrap (optional)

Consider watching the course before you start shopping, to learn which latex is the best fit for you.

This is the online course I wish existed when I started creating latex garments back in 2012. Here, I guide you through all the fundamentals and share with you all the best practices for creating your own latex clothes.

The Introductory Course is a 1 hour concentrate, made from more than 10 hours of video and 150 images to provide you with to-the-point knowledge. With plenty of examples of dos and don’ts, you learn valuable skills and not least how to avoid the pitfalls of designing and creating with latex.

The video comes with a complementary pattern, consisting of the back and front of a basic unisex tank top. Together, we go through the whole process of making the tank top while I share my 10+ years of accumulated expertise as a professional latex artisan. At the end of the video, you will have created your very own latex top and gained the knowledge to start creating personal, affordable fashion in latex.

Below are the chapters and a few words on what you can expect to learn in each one.
