The Original Sunny Diamond Stocking

The first stocking in our annual Sunny Stocking SAL was the Diamond Stocking.  This one can be a bit tricky to get the diamonds to line up properly, but it is easy to hand piece or use EPP to piece.   Here is the original post with the instructions for making this stocking.  I also have a tutorial for another Diamond Stocking that is Foundation Paper Pieced.  You can find the original post for the FPP stocking here.  Don't forget to use the hashtags #sunnystockingsal2025 and #sunnystockingsal - we will choose another Giveaway Winner soon!

Or you can make EPP papers and piece it with EPP. A couple notes before you begin: **If you plan to use FPP, the numerical order was the suggested order by my software program.
