I made some long, multi-colored, vee shaped flags last year from scraps of that oh-so-handy Seattle Fabrics heat sealable water-proof nylon. I had a box of scrap heat sealable fabric in different colors, and made some tarp flag wind flappers.

The multi-colored heat sealable tarp flags were appreciated at a paddler gathering last fall. I alligator-clip hung a bucnch of flags from the big group site tarp, and people snatched them off to take home in short order.
The only problem was that I ran out of the different color scraps when making them. So I recently ordered this $4 sampler pack from Seattle Fabrics

I am absolutely making one in full LGTBQ colors for someone to snatch next time. “Yeah Wes, I think that flag would look great hung from your big, multi-colored panel Tundra Tarp”.

Thinking I might explain my need for various colors I (tried to) call in a phone order to Seattle Fabrics. It was snowing in Seattle at the time, which, presumably, it rarely does. The attempted call-in order was hilarious.
The call center folks answered with a “OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS ENDING, NO ONE SHOWED UP FOR WORK TODAY, I HAVE FOUR CALLS AHEAD OF YOU” freak out.
I laughed and told them I would just order on-line, hoping the sample pack has a good selection of colors, including the RoyGBiv spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
I wonder what the Seattle grocery stores had left in the way of milk, bread and toilet paper with that kind of doomsday “snowflake” reaction,
No PNW diss intended, it happens here too.
