Stitch in time with pocket utensil (7)
I believe the answer is:
stewpot
'utensil' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'stitch in time with pocket' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
'stitch' could be 'sew' (synonyms) and 'sew' is present in the remaining letters.
'pocket' could be 'pot' (as in to pot or pocket a ball in snooker) and 'pot' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stewpot that I've seen before include "casserole" , "vessel" , "Pan" , "simmering here?" .)
