Our Outback Aussie Pattern Club has been a great hit. Following the success of the Australian pattern club (Characters in Cloth) we introduced the Outback Aussie Pattern Club with US members recieving patterns from Aust/NZ.

Once a month a great Aust/NZ pattern is sent out - with a newsy letter containing designer information, ways to link with Australian clubs, dollmakers, what's new etc. etc!! Some say the newsletter alone is worth joining for. The Outback Aussie Pattern Club has been going for years - those who don't have many Aust/NZ patterns like to join at No 1 and work thru the selection so they don't miss any of the great patterns - others like to start at the current release.

Membership of Outback Aussie Pattern Club is $90.00 Aust. for six months. Alternatively credit card charge is available at $15.80 per month, charged two months at a time. $90.00 Aust. is approx $60 to $65 US depending on current exchange rate. $15.80 is approx $11 US - and remember this includes pattern, postage and newsletter. Often patterns used retail for $16 - sometimes $20 - and we do swaps, travelling dolls etc. and pattern club members receive monthly specials.

The members are just the nicest people and enjoy linking up with friends from Aust. and N.Z. who are members of the Characters in Cloth Pattern Club. The reaction to the club has been wonderful. Patterns are chosen with care - to give you the best overview of Australian and New Zealand designs. Our aim is to make the pattern and news sheet your monthly treat. We keep working to provide the quality and value that the club is known for.

Excited comments are always coming in from the members. 'You are doing such a wonderful job with the pattern club. I've loved all of the patterns I've received. I think Australian cloth doll designers are inspiring the whole industry right now. (Pam from Minessotta) Sue from Ohio wrote 'Thanks so much for the opportunity you are providing - believe me it's greatly appreciated. From Tennessee Robin says - 'Love all the patterns rec'd in pattern club but this month's is the best! Made her as a mermaid and sold first off at craft fair!'Contact us on thsilike@westnet.com.au if you would like more details.
