The Patchwork Girl (aka Scraps) is a character from the fantasy Oz Book series by L. Frank Baum. She first appeared in The Patchwork Girl of Oz.

She is a living doll made of patchwork, button eyes, black yarn hair, a felt tongue, and pearl teeth. She was originally brought to life by a magician who lived in the Munchkin Country named Dr. Pipt by means of his Powder of Life formula to be a servant for his wife. However, in the process of bringing Scraps to life Mrs. Pipt was turned into stone. She later became the companion of the Scarecrow, who found her quite beautiful.
