'annoyed' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'prepare to sew and' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'prepare' could be 'get' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'get' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'get' acts as a link.
