Meet the Maker

Hi, I’m Ali — the maker behind Fuerst Stitch. I design and sew each apron in my studio, drawing inspiration from vintage patterns and a love of thoughtful craftsmanship.

Based in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, I create one-of-a-kind aprons using reclaimed and carefully chosen fabrics whenever possible — blending sustainability with timeless style.
