Vintage McCall's Journal

The McCall Pattern Company (est. 1870) is the world's foremost producer of sewing patterns, and parent company to not only McCalls Patterns but also Butterick (est. 1863), Vogue (est. 1899), and Simplicity (est. 1927 and owned by McCalls until January 2013). McCall's was founded in New York City in 1870 by Scottish immigrant James McCall, who also founded McCall's Magazine (1873-2002). For nearly 150 years, McCall's has brought fashion into the American home and to sewing audiences around the world. With offices in New York, London, Canada, and Australia, and with distribution into nearly every chain and indie craft store across the country, they maintain a thriving domestic and global presence as the original, go-to manufacturer of today's and yesterday's sewing patterns.
