Ann Marie Holt, a knitter, sewer and crocheter from Brunswick in Melbourne's inner north, is doing what she can to help.

"I first heard about the bushfires in November [and] I was keen to do something," Ms Holt said.

She said that volunteers such as herself take pride in distributing crafts where they’re most needed.

"[The group is] more of a regulator – everyone [gets] what they need," she said, although Victoria has become a top priority.

The guild is co-ordinated by 19-year-old Avalon Llewellyn from Sydney.

"The original group was set-up to make crafts such as dog sweaters for domesticated animal rescue groups,’’ Ms Llewellyn said.

In the past few weeks the group have had requests for help from animal rescue groups including Wires and Australia Zoo.

Ms Llewellyn and Ms Holt act as hubs, dedicated places to drop-off and collect donations.

"I might get a message saying we need 50 [joey] pouches, and 100 [artificial] nests – we’re shipping that many a day … it’s a fast turnover" Ms Llewellyn said. "I [personally] get 200-600 items a day to package and send off."

The crafts, which can take up to "three-quarters of an hour to an hour to make", are then shipped to where they’re most needed.

The group has since earned international attention with hubs established across the country and overseas.

"We’ve had people in Singapore telling us when they’ll be in Australia, as well as how much luggage they’re bringing and what they’ve made," Ms Llewellyn said.

"They’ve been contacting the embassy, consulates, and airlines."

The group currently needs large and extra-large joey pouches, and hanging pouches for sugar gliders.

Due to an inundation of koala mittens, they’re no longer needed.

A guide for crafting each item is available on the group’s Facebook page.
