Supply of fodder is no place to find sewing equipment (8)

I believe the answer is:

haystack

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'supply of fodder is no place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'find sewing equipment' is the wordplay.
'find sewing' becomes 'hays' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'equipment' becomes 'tack' (tack is a kind of equipment).
'hays'+'tack'='HAYSTACK'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for haystack that I've seen before include "Large pile of fodder" , "Pile of dried grass" , "Pile of cut grass" , "Large mound of dried grass" , "Rick of dried grass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
