What unemployed Parisian does embroidery? (10)
I believe the answer is:
needlework
'embroidery?' is the definition.
(embroidery is a kind of needlework)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
(Other definitions for needlework that I've seen before include "putting in stitches" , "Stitching" , "artistic production" , "Sewing - embroidery" , "Something perhaps crafty" .)
