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).
