Hm,,. Going to be tough due to needing a carrier sheet. Now as far as drawing something out with a pen attachment I think you could do that pretty easily onto paper that is thick enough to feed well. You will still need to be able to design the vector file to the correct dimensions. 

I think I watched a video on a laser flatbed cutter that burned around patterns. No idea where to get involved with something like that though.

For a single use pattern use vinyl. Cut, weed and apply transfer tape. Then apply it to the fabric or the fabric to the vinyl/transfer tape(whichever works best) and cut along the edges of the vinyl.
