Against All Odds: How One Man's Sewing Passion Became a Million-Dollar Brand

Southern Charm star Craig Conover joins Homespun host Misty Doan to share his incredible journey from struggling law student to successful entrepreneur. After facing ridicule for his love of sewing, Craig turned his middle school home economics skills into Sewing Down South, a thriving home decor brand.

In this candid conversation, Craig opens up about overcoming perfectionism, dealing with haters, the power of charitable giving in business, and why he believes everyone should pursue their passions regardless of what others think. From his $199 Amazon sewing machine to building retail stores in Charleston and Nashville, this is a story about trusting your instincts and never giving up on what brings you joy.


Key Episode Highlights:

  • How a Southern Charm reality star turned middle school home economics memories into a million-dollar pillow empire
  • The $199 Amazon sewing machine purchase that changed everything
  • Hurricane Dorian charity drive that generated $60,000 in weekend sales and forced the pivot from garage to factory production
  • Why giving up majority ownership to business partners was the smartest decision
  • The mental shift from seeking validation through nightlife to finding joy in staying home to sew
  • How charitable giving became both authentic mission and brilliant business strategy for media coverage and customer motivation
  • Craig's advice for hobby haters: "You'll never find someone doing better than you talking about you"
