Welcome to the calmest corner of the internet for people who love making meaningful gifts for the men in their life. To begin, please introduce yourself below. I’d love to hear… #1 — Who are you, where are you from? #2 — What’s one thing you’re hoping to learn here? #3 — Who do you have in mind for your pocket square? #4 — And for fun a GIF of his favourite hobby I’ll go first… #1 — I’m Jane Harbison, creator of this community. I live in Queensland, Australia, and I design sewing patterns and fabric that help people create garments men love to wear — because meaningful gifts become lasting bonds. (No links please.) #2 — My intention here: To guide you through a simple creative rhythm — Saturate → Percolate → Create → Celebrate → Rejuvenate so you can make pocket squares you are proud of and make him smile. What I hope you walk away with is a stronger bond with the men you’re making for, a renewed sense of creative intelligence, and a pocket square you can’t wait to gift. #3 — Who do I have in mind for my next pocket square? I don’t know, but I will know when I see it. #4 — Fun GIF Hobby: My husband loves golf and will endure almost any conditions to play. So here is my GIF - my favourite colour is pink and I love a good Argyle pattern design (which he has on his vest).

Often a question relegated to primary school, but why not relive our youth a little. 🥰 Do these two things: 1. Share your favourite colour and why. 2. Then comment on someone else's favourite colour and share what that colour evokes for you. This is quick yet meaningful. Colour is all around us as inspiration. I will go first: Pink. I wear it often. Mum and Dad painted my room Pink and Blue when I was growing up. I find that an amazing thing to do for me. In this age of designer homes - they made this space just for me. My room was a bit of a hallway to the other bedrooms, so everyone walked through it - and everyone had to experience the brilliance of my pastel pink and blue room. 😅 I also wear blue a lot too.

Everyone, I’d like to introduce you to our newest member, @Kathy Barlow , who has joined us from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Kathy is a fellow creator - a retreat creator amongst other things. Kathy, you’ve landed in a community that is incredibly warm, curious and quietly creative. People here love learning new techniques, playing with fabric and colour, and making small, meaningful things for the people they love. We’re happy to have you here. Welcome. Jane

I want to share a decision I’ve been sitting with, and why I feel really good about it. With Skool’s updates this week around spam detection and engagement signals, it’s now much easier to tell who’s genuinely here to create, learn, and participate, and who isn’t. That changes what’s possible for this community as a solo business owner. Because of that, I’ve decided to open the Pocket Square Club up as a free community again, with the option to grow into tiered access over time. I know a change like this can raise questions, so I want to be clear and reassuring: This isn’t about lowering the quality of the space. It's about protecting it better. Payment was never the true indicator of alignment. Participation is. Care is. Making things and sharing the process is. The new tools mean those qualities are easier to see and support, without relying on a paywall to do the filtering. I’m increasingly convinced that alignment, not payment, is the real filter. If someone joins just to lurk, scrape, or self-promote, the platform will now surface that. If someone shows up, participates, and actually cares about the work, they rise to the top. That makes a tiered, value-based community model suddenly make sense: - Free to enter. - Clear pathways to contribute. - Deeper access earned through engagement or paid upgrades. It feels much more aligned with how creativity, learning, and real business relationships form, not behind a paywall, but inside a shared practice. I will adjust this as soon I post this. You will see FREE back on the About page. If you’re already here, showing up, sewing, sharing, and contributing, nothing is being taken away from you. If anything, this gives us more room to grow the right way, welcoming people who genuinely want to be here while keeping the heart of the community intact. Thank you for being part of what makes this space feel calm, creative, and meaningful. More soon, but for now, know this change comes from care, not compromise.
