Another idea is the Japanese concept of furoshiki -- squares of cloth which can be attached in various ways. Just google it to find instructions. To make furoshiki yourself, you only need to know how to sew a hem. I also made drawstring bags for gift giving (using Christmas fabric bought after Christmas).

No sewing required. Just wrap like you're using regular paper, and tie it up with a bow. I've covered this topic of <a href="http://suddenlyfrugal.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/a-holiday-gift-resolution-2-ideas-to-consider/" rel="nofollow">reusable wrapping</a> on my Suddenly Frugal blog a number of times.

This is a good idea though and especially good for anyone just starting out who needs an extra pillow case. I have almost no sewing skills so I would probably just buy a second hand pillow case.
