I love the colors and patterns in this outfit only $16 for the set!
How about this fun Pj set and blanket also only $16

There are lots of fun outfits for bitty babies too.
I love the red dress and coat in this set also $16.
This is so adorable!
I had to ask Lila about her business and her back ground and this is what she shared with me.

"My Aunt taught me to sew as a teenager and I began sewing most of my clothes. But when I got married and started having a family, I did not have time to sew. When my first granddaughter was born (4 years ago), I decided to sew her a dress. It is just like riding a bike—it all came back to me. Well, I had some material left over, so I bought a doll pattern….and the rest is history.

I started selling the doll clothes on e-bay and did quite well, but someone told me about ETSY. In February 2009, I started selling on ETSY. Besides my ETSY shop, I sell at some of the local craft shows—mostly around Christmas—and once in a while I sell some from my home.

I do not collect the dolls, my passion is sewing the clothes. I have one 18-inch American Girl doll and one 15-inch Bitty Baby. I put each outfit on the doll to ensure proper fitting. I also have a 16-inch Cabbage Patch and a 14-inch baby doll, which I will occasionally sew for. I love to put colors together and use a lot of lace and appliqués.

I retired early (in January 2010), after 26 years of working as a document production specialist. So I now have more time for my hobbies. Although most of my time is spent on sewing, I also love to do scrapbooking and cross-stitching. I have completed a scrapbook album for each of my four grandchildren that captures their first year of life."

I want to thank Lila for sharing with us a bit of her self and hope you will stop by her shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/QualityDollClothes
