Stitch & Steam · Singapore
Uniform
Alterations
Fast and neat school and work uniform alterations in Singapore.
What We Can Alter
Fast alterations,
neat finish
Quick, tidy, and priced for everyday budgets. We handle school and work uniforms with the same care as any garment.
School & Work Trousers
Pants Hemming
We shorten school uniform pants and work trousers quickly and neatly, preserving the original hem style where the fabric allows.
Body & Sleeve
Shirt & Blouse Fitting
Taking in the body or shortening sleeves on school uniform shirts, blouses, and corporate shirts — for a clean, professional fit without excess fabric.
School Pinafores & Uniforms
Dress & Skirt Length
Shortening or lengthening school dresses, pinafores, and uniform skirts — a common need at the start of each school year or after a growth spurt.
Elastic & Structured
Waistband Adjustments
Adjusting the waistband on uniform pants and skirts — both elasticated and structured — so the garment sits correctly at the waist rather than riding up or sagging.
Everyday Wear
Repairs & Reinforcement
Patching worn knees, reinforcing seams, replacing broken zips or elastic — keeping uniforms in active use for longer, rather than replacing them early.

Altered 3 sets of work pants with Stitch and Steam! Very pleased with the service as Huiling answers all my questions, and even arranged delivery to my house once completed. Really provided the convenience :)

Before You Visit
Tips for a
better appointment
- 1
Bring the shoes your child or yourself will wear with the uniform — this affects the correct hem length for pants, dresses, and skirts.
- 2
Multiple pieces from the same school or workplace can be brought in one appointment. We batch-process uniform alterations efficiently.
- 3
Checking fit at the start of the school year — and again mid-year for growing children — prevents outgrowing before the garment has been used fully.
- 4
If a child is between sizes and likely to grow, mention it at the appointment. We can leave extra seam allowance for a future let-out.
