Do well in sewing (3)
I believe the answer is:
win
'do well' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'in sewing' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'WIN' is hidden in the letters of 'sewing'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for win that I've seen before include "Finish in first place" , "Succeed, conquer" , "Come first" , "Come out on top" , "Trumph" .)
