(CNN) The effects of the Australian bushfires on the country's animals have been immense and devastating, and the blazes show no signs of slowing. So the crafters won't slow down either.

Volunteers with the Animal Rescue Craft Guild are nimbly sewing pouches and blankets for the orphaned and displaced animals, from kangaroo joeys to bats to sugar gliders, that have been injured in the blazes.

The guild operates across five states in the country, though its membership extends much wider. Volunteers are given templates and free rein to create as many items as they can that will be donated to rescue centers taking the animals in.

By January 1, the guild had 23,000 members. Now, Llewellyn 120,000 have joined the call.
