Ouch, that's a tough one. I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with, no promises...lol...
You might start with Max Cloth. Make a bunch of the little pieces and stand them up close together. Then put an elastic cinch around the bunch and run it. It might just work.
But, if I were you, I'd look into buying TyFlow and learning it. It can do all kinds of fancy things and I think this is right up its alley.
