Sewed (8)
I believe the answer is:
stitched
'sewed' is the definition.
(I know that sewed can be written as stitched)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for stitched that I've seen before include "Fastened by sewing" , "Made use of the needle" , "Sewed" , "Fasten by sewing" , "after action in theatre?" .)
