Anyone living in Australia knows about the relentless and destructive bush fires raging across the country right now. That has also left a lot of wild life without their habitat or mothers or both. Some Joeys are so very young and need a pouch to grow in.
If you are interested in knitting or crocheting some pouches to donate to WIRES please get involved. Their requirements are very simple.
if you are interested please leave a message here or email me at yarnsbythebay@gmail.com
thanks for taking the time to read this.

LizB I hope you don’t mind my re-posting this here, but I spotted your original post by accident when I was browsing, I thought it was a great idea for helping the joeys, but it might be helpful to put it in a general forum so more people can see it. (I was not sure if it was Knitting, Sewing, Events, or what, so if you think I should re-post somewhere else, or if you want to, that is fine by me.)
I also wanted to ask some questions, but I am not in the group so I couldn’t post there. What are the requirements for the linings? Wool, cotton, something else? Should they be sewn into place or left loose? I am guessing the seams should be between the lining and the pouch, so the inside is smooth and the whole thing is like a lined bag with an open top – does that sound right?
