Tailor madly working, without skill (11)
I believe the answer is:
maladroitly
'without skill' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'tailor madly working' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'tailor'+'madly'='tailormadly'
'tailormadly' with letters rearranged gives 'MALADROITLY'.
