restitched

Mended with thread

Restitched means sewn again, typically to repair something that has come apart or to improve upon previous stitching: The tailor restitched the torn seam.

It can apply literally to fabric, leather, or wounds, or figuratively to anything being pieced back together: They restitched their fractured alliance.
