He sewed a bag for us خاطَ عَلَيْنَا كِيسَا.

خاطَ عَلَيْنَا كِيسَا.
He sewed a bag for us.
----------------------------------------------
«خاطَ علينا كيسًا» يُقال لمن احتال علينا وخدعنا بحيلةٍ ما، أو أوهمنا بشيء حتى استمالنا إليه؛ فـ«خاط الكيس» كناية عن إحكام الحيلة والتدبير.

وإذا كان المقصود الخداع بطريقة ذكية ومموهة، فـ:
He pulled the wool over our eyes.
