Records attempt to make ornamental textile (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapestry

'ornamental textile' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'records attempt to' is the wordplay.
'records' becomes 'tapes' (taping is a kind of recording).
'attempt to' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tapes'+'try'='TAPESTRY'

'make' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tapestry that I've seen before include "Embroidered wall hanging" , "Party set (anag)" , "Woven hanging fabric with pictures" , "Embroidered picture" , "Complexity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
