Struggle to get middle part of net-like fabric, replaced by gutted seamstress (6)
I believe the answer is:
tussle
'struggle' is the definition.
(I know that tussle is a type of combat)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tussle that I've seen before include "Rough and tumble" , "Grapple" , "Go at it" , "Skirmish" , "A struggle or conflict" .)
