Chelsea Syal is an embroidery artist based in New Orleans. Her mom taught her how to cross-stitch when she was seven years old. Since then she has taught herself many different embroidery, lace, and dress-making techniques such as luneville, free motion, ribbon work, Irish crochet, and so much more. Chelsea has been creating custom embroideries since 2020 for local clients and film. She works hard to create couture garments by creating handmade patterns, using couture dressmaking techniques, and creating all embroideries by hand. She also works as a textile conservator at Gentle Arts Textile Conservation and is taking classes with the Appraisers Association of America to become a textile appraiser.
