I didn't recognize Jean-Claude's name, so I felt (only very slightly) at sea till I read and recognized "All Bodies All Beautiful" in the comment.
• invent everything from patterns to the materials whole cloth.
This doesn't quite hang together grammatically. "Whole cloth" isn't an adverbial idiom like "(go) whole hog". Are you thinking of the idiom "(to make something up) out of whole cloth"? That has several rather different meanings (Wiktionary):
~~~~~ ~~~~
Noun whole cloth (uncountable)
1. A newly made textile which has not yet been cut. [original literal meaning]
2. (figuratively, used attributively or preceded by various prepositions) The fictitious material from which complete fabrications, lies with no basis in truth, are made. Mr. Doe's account of the accident was made from whole cloth.
1917, National Geographic, _What Great Britain is Doing_, by Sydney Brooks: All those tales that came clicking over the wireless of the capture of huge stores of grain and oil were fables out of whole cloth.
3. Something made completely new, with no history, and not based on anything else. The plans for the widget were drawn from whole cloth.
• 1883, Mark Twain, _Life on the Mississippi_, chapter 27: And, mind you, emotions are among the toughest things in the world to manufacture out of whole cloth; it is easier to manufacture seven facts than one emotion.

To use the idiom, your lines would be
invent everything from patterns to the materials out of whole cloth
or something very similar. The close similarity between the literal and figurative meanings of the expression lend an unusual twist.
