ALPHORN 555

Personal, Edited and Select Images & Videos


Stanserhof Boutique Hotel, Stans, Switzerland

(Air-Conditioned Rooms!)

All set to head out for the bus

I purchased the decorative strips from a fabric store across from my hotel in Stans.
They kindly helped me select the pattern, then sewed the strips onto my vest.
I needed to change into the vest at the event, which warmed up into the 80s under full sun :)

The strip with the blue background worked much better with my red vest.
