A patch doll is a type of traditional folk art toy made from fabric scraps and other materials. It is usually made in the shape of a human figure, and often has patches of different colors and fabrics sewn onto it. The term 'patch doll' comes from the fact that the doll is made from patches of fabric. CABBAGE is a vegetable that is commonly used to make patch dolls, as its leaves can be used to create the body of the doll.
