Rags badly sewn perhaps husband's thrown out (10)
I believe the answer is:
newspapers
'rags' is the definition.
(rag can informally mean a newspaper)
'badly sewn perhaps husband's thrown out' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'thrown out' suggests deleting specific letters.
'sewn'+'perhaps'='sewnperhaps'
'sewnperhaps' with 'h' taken out is 'sewnperaps'.
'sewnperaps' anagrammed gives 'NEWSPAPERS'.
(Another definition for newspapers that I've seen is " Press".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
