"Sauma klubbur" – Sew clubFor ages women has been gathered together in groups such as Sewing Clubs. However if its purpose is to meet up for story telling about latest happenings or for meet up on its purpose to sew or knitting, the story does not tell further.
In the old days this groups were very often connected to the church and the local priest was often participating. The ladies were making clothes and other things for the local poor people.
We Swedish girls have recently started this kind of group. Sunday was first out for our meeting. Six girls joint together at K’s place for knitting paper napkins on different things. I made a candle, a pot and a glasswork. This was my first trials and I must say it was probably one of the funniest thing to do, I am really proud of the results!

Oh, hi Leann, I haven’t noticed you have found this blog too?
It is very easy and may be you are too using the "French word" "Serviette Decoupage"? (have a look on http://www.decoupage.org/ )
Paper napkins contains different layers and you take away all of them except the one that is colored. If you only want to use a special detail you cut it out with a scissor. You put glue on the candle, bucket or whatever you would like to decorate, place the napkin over the glue and you use a sponge or a dry paintbrush to stretch it. Let it dry for a while and then you put glue all over the napkin and "tadam" the decoration is done. Easy hu?
