Pouch Pile
Supporting Babies of the Bush
Start Sewing Now!
Can you help us make a pile of pouches for our orphaned babies of the bush? Our native wildlife are kept warm, safe and snug in their mothers pouches. Artificial pouches are essential in the rehabilitation process of these orphans and a stockpile is required for when demand increases.
Sew Possum and Koala Pouches
Suitable for beginner sewers
Possums are some of the most common orphans to have in care. They are adorable native animals with hilarious habits. There are twenty-three known species of possums in Australia. They can be as small as a Feathertail Glider or as big as a Common Brushtail Possum. Our wildlife hospitals and carers need a variety of suitable snuggly pouches to house them.
*Due to the influx of pouches during the Australian bushfires, carers and wildlife hospitals only require medium sewn possum and koala pouches at this point in time. Thank you for your understanding.*
Knit Possum and Koala Pouches
Suitable for beginner knitters
Possums and Koalas come into care at many different growth stages. Some babies come in furless and with their eyes still closed, while others can be the size of a small cat. However, it is crucial that they are all kept at an appropriate temperate. Kitted pouches are ideal to help all the babies retain heat. Our wildlife hospitals and carers need a variety of suitable knitted pouches to house them.
Sew Macropod Pouch Liners
Suitable for advanced sewers
Kangaroos and Wallabies (Macropods) are an Australian icon, known for their gorgeous personalities. They are very unique animals with delicate bone structures. There are 73 known species of macropod in Australia. Our wildlife hospitals and carers need a range of pouches to house them.
Sew Macropod Pouch Outers
Suitable for beginner sewers
Much like Possums and Koalas, Macropods come into care at many different growth stages. Some babies come in furless and with their eyes still closed, while others can be the size of a small dog. However, it is crucial that they are all kept at an appropriate temperate. Sewn woolen or fleece pouches are ideal to help all the babies retain heat. Our wildlife hospitals and carers need a variety of suitable sewn pouches to house them.
