Do needlework (3)
I believe the answer is:
sew
'do needlework' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sew that I've seen before include "Fasten with needle and thread" , "Work with needle and thread" , "Fasten with stitches" , "Tack" , "Use a needle and thread" .)
