Sometimes it only takes a spark to start a fire. Likewise, it only takes one kind-hearted customer to spread the word for a business.
Local TikTok user Maggie wanted to alter her Chinese New Year outfit for a better fit and enjoyed the experience with the 75-year-old seamstress so much that she shared a clip yesterday , urging netizens to come forth with their support.She was impressed by the speed and efficiency of auntie Susan who managed to get her cheongsam altered at the waist and the buttons replaced in just 30 minutes.
Having started sewing from the age of three, auntie Susan currently runs her business out of her flat at Block 274 Tampines Street 22 which she shares with her pet Shih Tzu. In the comments section, many netizens were touched by auntie Susan's plight and pledged their support. One netizen, who lives in the Western part of Singapore, said that she's willing to "travel all the way to the East to alter [her] pants".
