sewed

1. 1
   used a needleverb

   Past tense and past participle of sew.

   She has sewed her own clothes since she was twelve.

   Note

   The simple past has one form, she sewed the hem by hand, but the past participle has two: after have and in the passive, sewed shares the work with sewn (has sewed for years, was sewn by hand). With into it takes the enclosing meaning, as with money sewed into a coat lining. Mind the spelling, because sowed, from sow, sounds exactly the same.

   Produced by sewing.
