From Sewing Machine to Star: Craig Conover's Journey

A Journey of Creativity and Entrepreneurship

Craig Conover, a well-known reality TV personality, is set to share his inspiring story at the Home + Garden show in Cleveland. His path to success was unplanned, beginning in a home economics class where he learned to cook, sew, and garden. This early exposure left a lasting impact.

From Heartbreak to Business

Years later, after a tough breakup, Conover found comfort in his sewing machine. What started as a creative outlet evolved into a thriving business. He began making throw pillows and delving into home interiors. The joy of creation became a cornerstone of his journey.

Themes of Creativity and Collaboration

During his talks, Conover will explore creativity and entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the power of collaboration and learning new skills. His brand, Sewing Down South, has grown from a passion project to a nationally recognized name.

A Multifaceted Success Story

At 37, Conover has achieved remarkable success. He is a TV star, author, and philanthropist. His memoir, "Pillow Talk: What’s Wrong with My Sewing?", became a bestseller. He continues to learn new skills, such as quilting, and is considering knitting next.

Connecting with Audiences

Conover is drawn to live events for the human interaction and the opportunity to share his experiences. Attendees can expect giveaways, a Q&A session, and time for photos and conversations.

Event Details

The Home + Garden Show will be held at Cleveland’s I-X Center from Jan. 30 to Feb. 8. Conover will speak on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7, with his lifestyle products also on display.
