About Jane

Hi I’m Jane!
A television host by day and a creative maker my entire life. I spend most moments of the day thinking about what I am going to make next, whether it be in the craft room or kitchen, I always have the urge to create.

My favorite things include fitness, fashion and food and my goal is to spread love everywhere I go. Yellow is my signature color because it always makes you smile, and I love to turn the camera on you to showcase your creative genius!

At JaneClauss.com you will find projects that anyone can make from beginners to experts. I share step by step tutorials and videos to get your creative juices flowing! I am also peeling back the curtain on other creative makers to showcase what makes them tick!

I always say Happiness is Handmade. So spend an hour a day with me and then go do whatever else you want, I promise you’ll feel better for doing so. I am so HAPPY you are here!

LOVE rioting with some old friends @foofighters last night.
Can’t help but reminisce about seeing them the first time they played Chicago at @metrochicago Aug 5, 1995. I was backstage post show with some friends and the band… maybe 30 people back there. I got tickets from Dave G’s dad so he came up to me and said “Hi I’m Dave. My dad said to find you!” 👋🏻 🤭
Time flies and my proximity to the band is a lot different these days!! We’re all still rocking tho! 🤘🏼🎸
My current rockstar of choice is @kucla1 ❤️

Hello from the island of Corfu! Water is crystal clear and the old town is full of history, beautiful architecture, bustling shops and hidden side streets. It’s got a glamorous vibe and cosmopolitan feel too. 🇬🇷💙☀️

Entering Santorini from a boat is a first for me! We hiked the island Nea Kameni to see the Volcano of Santorini and then shopping in the streets of Fira and, of course, the view and a small bite to eat! 🇬🇷

So much fun hanging with my friend @tracybutlerabc7 today talking about Sustainability in Fashion and simple ways to repurpose once loved garments! It goes hand in hand with the #nonewclothes movement.
And I always say, if it doesn’t spark joy don’t throw it out, make it into something else!
Tracy also took a turn on my @brothersews machine today too! She’s a total PRO!
