Well I hate to say it but it's a trick that almost comes out of the box...sort of. Here's a quick and dirty tut. Hope you can follow the steps, otherwise just post your questions.
1. Create a new layer and fill it with some color name it satin.
2. Apply the Pattern Overlay filter using 'Satin'. Scale it up (I used somewhere around 500%)
3. Create a new layer and move it under the 'satin' layer and merge the satin layer down (CTRL+E)
4. Transform the layer using perspective and distort to get a felling of perspective.
5. Using your tool of choice, erase the top so it follows the folds of the satin.
6. Give the image a gradient blur to get the out-of-focus feeling.
Sadly, this is a very limited way of creating cloth but it might be still useful.
