One of a kind! If you have completed another Rustic Horseshoe pattern then the layout will feel comfortable, with clear instructions and an easy to assemble pattern. Spring for the video for an even faster make. I embroidered the face along with Rena and smiled at how easy it was! The Flamingo Floatie is a great addition to my pattern collection.

This pattern is super cute and easy to make! Rustic Horseshoe definitely puts a lot of love into creating their patterns. The directions come with great photos and some tutorial links to help with harder areas. There is also a great community of sewers who are very helpful and if you have any questions Rustic Horseshoe is super quick to respond and very helpful! I 100% recommend all of their patterns and this small business!

This a quick fun project! The Flamingo Floaties bring a smile to everyone’s face. Great instructions with lots of pictures. There is hand sewing to attach the neck. If you don’t feel confident in your hand sewing this will be great practice! You can do it!

This is such a great toy to make, you get this beautiful flamingo floatie toy, as well as the credit of making another Rustic Horseshoe design.
With full details and illustration on how to make the flamingo and two ways to make the ring.
I was lucky enough to be a tester and I had so much fun, I am giving this review with my own honest opinion.

This is a fun unique pattern that came together with ease even sewing by hand. There are detailed instructions with pictures to help you accomplish this plushie. Even a video so you can visualize and follow along. It’s adorable in a baby’s room. And makes the perfect pool party hat.

This pattern comes together seamlessly. Once complete put a smile on all who see it. Made mine with eye lashes that made the flamingo flirty and noteworthy.

Another wonderful pattern by Rustic Horseshoe. The Flamingo Floatie is the cutest thing & the personality that you can give it… I was a little intimidated about making the circle but she gives you 2 options PLUS a video tutorial & it was so easy. The directions, and pictures, are so clear that you will have no problem following along. I especially like the pictures that are labeled ” this is what it should look like” because then I can compare & know I’m on the right track.
Thank you , again, Rena for a great pattern.

The Flamingo Floatie is a great pattern for a beginner to gain confidence and familiarize themselves with Rustic Horseshoe patterns. It is a simple, straightforward pattern that is on point with all the other adorable patterns by Rustic Horseshoe.
I was able to cut out and sew together in one day, so would make for a fun sew together project with a kid.
