What does RESEW mean in Scrabble?
verb
To sew something again, typically to repair a seam or replace stitching that has failed.
Resew combines re- with sew to describe stitching that must be redone, whether because the original thread broke, a seam split, or an item needs alteration. Tailors, upholsterers, and home sewers commonly resew a hem, sleeve, or button rather than starting a garment from scratch. The word emphasizes correction or repetition rather than the first act of sewing.
