10 BACK-TO-SCHOOL ESSENTIALS

It’s nearly fall which means your doll will soon need all of those back-to-school essentials!  We’ve rounded up the top ten school must-haves that your doll will need for the 2021-2022 school year.  This list includes plenty of patterns found on Pixie Faire to get you started making this the best school year yet!

My favorite grade was 11th. I came out of my shell and enjoyed the rest of high school. And I learned to sew!

8th grade. My teacher was Mrs. Stanger at Crozier Jr. High In Inglewood, CA. She ran a tight ship with love for all her students. She emphasized education and respect for others. I also remember she had thick salt and pepper gray hair with braids beautifully crossed atop her head. She had flashing dark eyes and always had a smile. Every 7th grader wanted her as their 8th grade teacher. I was one of the lucky ones.

Except for my senior year, my favorite grade was any grade where I didn’t have to move to a new school in the middle of the year.
