It’s possible to use clothing and other fabrics to wrap dishes. However, while fabrics may offer more cushion than paper, it takes up more space in the box. It’s also harder to secure once an item has been wrapped (with paper, you can tape the middle). You could use a combination of packing paper and fabrics to pack boxes. For instance, you could use clean socks to stuff the inside of wine glasses, then wrap each glass in paper Or, you could use lightweight towels to fill in the empty spaces of a packed box.
