Sweater in Red, Orange, and Gold Parasol Materials: Japanese paper and rayonEvery time I see leg o' mutton sleeves, I think of Anne Shirley and her longing for puffed sleeves. This sweater is based on a golf jersey design from the 1898 Spencer, Turner and Boldero, Ltd. Catalog. Can an you imagine playing golf in a corset and giant sleeves? The sweater is 3. 75 inches wide, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang
