My Guiding Values
![Sian Headley Headshot 1.JPG](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9dd291_5b55ae28925041289068458dc4904884~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_95,h_126,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Sian%20Headley%20Headshot%201_JPG.jpg)
These are the values that speak most strongly to me and guide me along my business journey.
HAVE FUN Fun is at the heart of everything I do. Fun sparks energy, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. And, there’s nothing better than doing what you love, is there?
​
CREATE Creating gives me all the thrills! It’s a sign of stepping out of that comfort zone, trying new things, and gaining confidence through it. Creating keeps my business fresh and continually evolving.
​
SUCCEED To me, success is moving forward, saying YES to what I love, and being proud of myself for it. I gain so much self-belief and happiness through this.
​
INSPIRE Inspiring others through what I do makes my heart light up! Empowering others to step out of their comfort zone, to approach something in a different way, or to achieve something they never thought possible, gives me so much joy.
​
MAKE A DIFFERENCE I want to make what I do matter: By working with you to find the path that works for you, and to help you to stay moving forward on it, I am confident I can make a difference to you and your business.

Robin, aged 2, in his first cape, putting his raspberry-picking superhero skills to the test!
In 2015, my then 2 year old son, Robin, asked me to make him a superhero cape. Rather than buying one I tried my hand at creating my own; Robin was soon running around (saving his little world!) in a red superhero cape with a black 'R' on the back.
A few weeks later he asked me to make him a dinosaur cape (like every little boy, he was dinosaur mad!). I was stumped at first but, after a bit of trial and error, I created a green dinosaur cape with multi-coloured spikes.
I enjoyed creating gifts for my friends and their children and, once I started to run out of occasions to sew for, I tried my hand at selling my items. And that is how Robin's Bobbins was born!
I now have two more sons who, with Robin, have quite a dressing up and personalised items collection! They love dressing up whenever they can and, judging by the smiles on passers-by, they are very popular!
I get so much pleasure out of creating my items; knowing that each gift is bespoke, for a special someone, is so fulfilling.

What I am Passionate About
![IMG_7948.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9dd291_e92c05a8b13a44f699319c523a3ba483~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_95,h_95,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/IMG_7948.jpg)
Sustainability is at the forefront of my business ethos. I package my products in either compostable or paper mail bags.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is at the forefront of my business ethos, and so I create each item with care and the intention for it to last.
​
I pride myself in using Eco heat-transferred vinyl.
​
I reserve small pieces of fabric for re-using on other items.
​
The smallest of scraps are donated to local schools and nurseries to use for craft products.
​
My products are wrapped sustainably in recycled tissue paper with a recycled paper tag.
​
I package my products in either compostable or paper mailbags.
COMMUNITY
​
I care deeply about my local community, supporting it where I can by donating prizes to school fairs, sponsoring local events, and getting involved in outreach projects for a range of charities.
​
I am a passionate supporter of small businesses. I play an active role in various small business communities, to support fellow business owners and promote the positive impact of shopping small.
