Sir Duncan Bruce of Logan and Sir Gawayne ap Tristam have an article on making silk banners/standards. The article is located on the Barony of Forgotten Sea website.

Several folks have made these, and HE Logan has conducted classes and workshops on their construction.
This is an excellent way to easily add a bit of medieval splendor to your camp.
