You need the past participle, which is "sewn", at least in BrE (sew, sewed, sewn). AmE may differ. By the way, remember to use a capital "F" for Friday.

I think this dictionary is mainly for BrE, and it shows both correct:

In AmE, both are valid.

My Shorter OED mentions both, no notice on AmE/BrE.
