After sinning, Adam and Eve "sewed fig leaves together" and made clothing for themselves. However, when God comes into the garden and calls to Adam, Adam responds by claiming that he was afraid and that his fear came from his own nakedness. >[Genesis 3:7-10 (ESV)](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:7-10&version=ESV)

Why does Adam claim he is still naked, even after clothing himself with the fig leaves?
