Sewing or embroidery (11)
I believe the answer is:
needlecraft
'sewing or embroidery' is the definition.
(I know that sewing is a type of needlecraft)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for needlecraft that I've seen before include "Sewing, embroidery" , "talent for embroidery" , "Talent shown by Little Dorrit" , "Art of stitching" , "Skill in fixing sails, say" .)
