Use a needle and thread (3)
I believe the answer is:
sew
'use a needle and thread' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sew that I've seen before include "Use a needle and thread" , "Fasten with stitches" , "Fasten with needle and thread" , "Stitch with needle and thread" , "Make stitches" .)
