Close, I was In the Royal Navy for many years and the term makenmend came from the old time of wooden ships, when a ''make and mend'' was given to a ships crew so they could make or repair their personal items ie clothing and equipment.
So sewing was indeed part of that.
the present day meaning of makenmend in the Navy means a free afternoon to go ashore or if at sea just relax and rest from duties.

I found this site from CRVL, always hope to learn more and help if I can.
