Lump them all under McCalls?[]

The various spellings of McCalls/McCall's/McCall make it difficult to categorize all the patterns. I realize that the older pattern envelopes say "McCall" and that the more recent ones say "McCall's". It's very confusing. Perhaps we should lump all of them under "McCalls" (which currently has the most patterns)? The individual pattern pages would still capture the variation in their titles, which gives a clue as to the age of the pattern. Any thoughts? ChronicallyUncool 20:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Need guide sheet to pattern[]

Good afternoon, I am Renee and I have a Butterick pattern #9527. I believe it to be late 50s or early 60s. I just discovered I do not have the instructions to it. I have laid it out to be cut. If anyone has this pattern and could tell me how to attach the yoke/sleeve (one piece) to bodice front & back. I would be grateful. Wow, upon looking at it I think I might have figured it out. Not sure? My email address is arh0011@aces.edu. Thanks for listening through words, it helps to have an ear. Happy sewing!!!
