I thought it might be useful to those reading along to see my source materials. Here is a list of the books I refer to in the posts.

Fiore:
Matthew Gnagy aka the Modern Maker is noticeably absent from your list. Is there a particular reason? Yes, I am being nosy. 😉
Fionna
Hi Fionna, Mathew isn’t really absent. I didn’t use his books for this project as my desire is to translate the source materials for myself not use another’s interpretation. However, I have studied pattern drafting with him directly so his influence is definitely in my work to some extent. My practice is not to list the people I have studied with as period resources (unless I use their scholarship, of course) though I am thankful for the skills.
