Do a bit of housework (3)
I believe the answer is:
sew
'do' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a bit of housework' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SEW' can be found hidden inside 'housework'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sew that I've seen before include "Make stitches" , "Fasten with needle and thread" , "Tack" , "Work with needle and thread" , "Do some needlework" .)
