(A) Group the elements of the flag and create a rectangle with no fill and no outline that is about 10% larger than the flag. Group the new rectangle and the flag.
Note: Without the rectangle around the outside, the flag will be cut off.
(B) Call the menu "Filters > Distort > Roughen...".
(C) Set the frequencies to very small values (1.0 to 1.6), the other values can be in the first third. If the checkbox "Live preview" is set, you will immediately see the result of your settings.
# Way 2
(D) Select the group of the flag and call the menu "Path > Path Effects...".
(E) Select the effect "Lattice Deformation 2" from the list of effects.
(F) If available (Mac only (?)) check the box "Use only perimeter".
(G) Then you can move the nodes of the flag up or down. The displacement should be about the same at the top as at the bottom.

Is there a simple way to draw flag in a wind?
I mean transforming already created flag.
You can try "Envelope Deformation" on a grouped drawing:
There are two ways more to change a flag shape:
