BVR academics: Sewing and donating “joey pouches”

Posted on January 24, 2020

Class: Costume and Design Studio
Grade: Upper School
Teacher: Bethany Eddy

In response to the fires in Australia, students in the Costume and Design Studio spent a week sewing joey pouches—fabric pouches that wildlife sanctuaries use to care for orphaned baby kangaroos. To expedite the process of creating these products, sophomore Annike Downey worked with the Research + Design Center team to create a template. The final pouches—a total of 37—were sent to the Animal Rescue Craft Guild, who will distribute the pouches to animal sanctuaries in need worldwide. See more photos from the class on our Instagram.
