Stitched border (3)
I believe the answer is:
hem
'stitched border' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hem that I've seen before include "Double-backed border of a garment" , "Part of skirt" , "Sewn edge to fabric" , "Sewn border" , "try to attract attention" .)
