Australia on Fire

I feel just dead inside knowing billions of Australia's creatures -- including humans -- have died in the bush fires!  If I lived there, I would probably volunteer to help fire fighters and animal rescuers.  Since I'm in the US, I'm going to make Joey Pouches.   I've got a huge stash and it seems these will do some good.  There are also craft groups here and around the world that are making these and sending them to make a little bit of a difference.  There are also groups that are knitting koala mittens, etc., so whatever skill you have can be put to good use.  I found a lot of information by searching "joey pouches for bushfire victims." 

Finished pouch from the Mood Fabrics website.  Link below

On the Mood Fabrics website you can find a self-drafted pattern and tutorial for this pouch and includes the address to send to in Lodi, NJ.  There might be a group in your area collecting these, so check that out, too.

I was able to get a free pattern download that includes the tutorial by visiting Piccolo Studio .

Please help the survivors and also consider making a donation to the World Wildlife Foundation.
