Some rejigging ham-fistedly checked material (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gingham

'checked material' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some rejigging ham-fistedly' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'GINGHAM' can be found hidden inside 'rejigging ham fistedly'.

(Other definitions for gingham that I've seen before include "Fabric in a plaid weave" , "Checked material" , "Light cotton checked fabric" , "Cotton cloth woven with coloured checks" , "Striped, or checked, cotton fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
