After a long break (and a big life change—hello, motherhood!), I’m thrilled to be back at Resin Melody with exciting updates! I’ve expanded my sewing adventures beyond dolls and discovered a love for creating bags for humans—and soon, about 20 handcrafted styles will be available on the site. Don’t worry, doll clothes, wigs, and accessories aren’t going anywhere—this is just a fun new chapter, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

New Video: Restringing RS Mei
I’m restringing my RS Mei! The video is a bit long, but there is no time-lapse and no voice-over! Each step is fully explained to help you feel comfortable restringing your own ball-jointed doll. Not sure what size elastic you need? Cool Cat has an awesome size chart! Check out the full post for more useful links!
New Video: 70cm+ doll carrier for $33?? I found one!
After I received questions on my previous doll carrier video whether bigger ABJD would fit, I tried to find a budget carrier option for 70+ cm dolls…. and I’ve done it!
Check out the Neewer bag meant for photographers and photo/video equipment! It’s an awesome size for our big guys, and it can fit a ton of stuff!
