'scraps' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'tart set badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram (letters in the wrong order).
'tart'+'set'='tartset'
'tartset' with letters rearranged gives 'TATTERS'.
