Psychology
Sewing joins and mends, reflecting a wish to repair bonds or tend inner wounds. Careful stitching shows patience; tangled thread or pricked fingers show pain along the way.
Folklore and history
Japan had semamori, protective stitches sewn on the backs of children's kimono to guard against evil from behind. Harikuyo, where used needles are laid to rest in soft tofu, thanks the tools of sewing.
Sudden rain during haunted-spot exploration can soak a backpack full of camera gear and batteries and cause equipment trouble. A waterproof cover that wraps around the whole backpack protects everything a rain poncho alone can't reach.

This site's view
In this site's view, ask whose clothes you sewed. Your own: you are tending your own hurt. A family member's or partner's: a wish to mend that bond. Stitching a protective seam on someone's back, like semamori, is unspoken love.
Going deeper: our reading
Threading a needle demands concentration so intense that you briefly hold your breath. Many of us sewed a cleaning cloth in home economics class or reattached a loose button. Stitches also have two sides: the front may look neat while knots and loose threads hide behind. In this site's reading, people who dream of sewing are working on the hidden side of their relationships or daily life, acting as if nothing is wrong while busily joining threads behind the scenes. The scene helps. Hand-sewing stitch by stitch shows resolve to take time; a sewing machine, pressure to patch things up quickly. Pricking your finger may reflect fear of getting hurt while mending a relationship. This is our speculation, but having someone sew on a button for you suggests you are learning to let others handle small tears.
What to do on waking
Fix one loose button or frayed seam. Small mending is practice for tending the heart.
