This expression is a hold over from the days when material was hand made and very expensive. If a garment was made new from material that had been custom made, it was said to be made of "whole cloth", not a patched garment.
When one sees "garments" in The Bible, it was a custom for clothing to be passed down in the family because material was so expensive to make. A person might reasonably be expected to have a new dress or suit for a wedding, his death, or a major event. Otherwise, clothing was patched, "turned", and used so long that it became unrecognizable as an original garment.
So the expression "created out of whole cloth" generally is admiration for an excellently told tall tale that is usually a new story. Novels sometimes get their start this way.
