Neat tailors may make them (11)

I believe the answer is:

alterations

'them' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'neat tailors may make' is the wordplay.
'may make' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'neat'+'tailors'='neattailors'
'neattailors' with letters rearranged gives 'ALTERATIONS'.

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
