sewn
Attached with thread
Sewn is the past participle of sew—to join fabric or other material with needle and thread: a hand-sewn quilt, poorly sewn seams.
It appears after auxiliary verbs: The button had been sewn on crooked.
Sewed also serves as past participle, though sewn is more common.
The phrase sewn up means secured or settled: We've got the contract sewn up.
