How a Cabbage Patch doll inspired a teacher’s upcycling passion
When she was seven years old, Introduction to Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) teacher discovered her passion for upcycling. She was determined to make sure her Cabbage Patch doll had the “best wardrobe.” She learned how to sew from her mother, who worked as a tailor, and soon began to make clothes for her doll. Years later, her passion has evolved from that Cabbage Patch doll to her Introduction to FCS sewing unit.
