Close with stitches (3,2)

I believe the answer is:

sew up

(Other definitions for sew up that I've seen before include "repair" , "Complete (something) satisfactorily" , "Successfully complete" , "Successfully secure" , "Polish off" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Times.
