Have any of you ever made those cute little flags that one can purchase from Lowes, Home Depot, WalMart? Different ones for different reasons? I had a customer, yesterday, ask if I could make one for her children so they can fly them on the boys' special days - to help celebrate their 'firsts' in life! :) I love the idea and need to be able to tell her what kind of fabric to buy... thanks for your input!

They're made out of rip stop nylon.

Haven't seen these yet, but my son works at Lowes....so I will check it out...but please post pictures when you come up with something.

just a note...I purchase bright orange rip stop nylon to make a coat for a hunting dog recently...got it at a local Hancocks.

Oh, thank you for posting this topic. I was just going to go buy a flag. Now that I know what material I need I'm going to make one for Fall Harvest and one for Winter :) Anyone know if I need special thread or a special needle? Now, i just hsave to get the husband to fix the flag pole holder. In our last wind storm it blew off the house.
