🧵 Clothing Swap + Mending Circle

🧵 Clothing Swap + Mending Circle 🧶

Give your wardrobe a second life! Join us for an afternoon of sustainable fashion, community, and creativity in the heart of the Turia. Whether you have clothes to trade or a favorite pair of jeans that needs a little TLC, this is the place to be.

✨ What’s Happening?

• The Swap: Bring high-quality items you no longer wear and trade them for something "new-to-you."
• The Mending Circle: We’ll be practicing visible mending, embroidery, and sashiko techniques. Bring your torn items and let's fix them together!
• Community Vibes: Meet fellow sustainable fashion lovers, share tips, and enjoy a picnic atmosphere.

🗓️ Details

• When: Saturday, 24th of May
• Time: 17:00 (5 PM)
• Where: Jardín del Turia (Right by Puente del Mar)

🎒 What to Bring

• Swap Items: Clean, good-condition clothing, shoes, or accessories.
• Mending Projects: That one item in your "to-fix" pile, plus any needles, thread, or scrap fabric you have.
• Picnic Essentials: A blanket to sit on and some snacks or drinks to share.

No experience? No problem! We’re all here to learn from each other. Let’s keep clothes out of the landfill and in our closets. 🌍✨

📍 Location Note: We’ll be on the grass near the historic Bridge of the Sea (Puente del Mar). Look for the pile of clothes and the sewing kits!

The Puente del Mar (Pont del Mar) is a historic pedestrian bridge spanning the Turia Gardens. For navigation, you can use the following address details:

• Location: Pont del Mar, Jardín del Turia (Section IX)
• Full Address: Pont del Mar, El Pla del Real, 46004 València, Spain
• Postcode: 46004

📍 Getting There

• Metro: The closest station is Alameda (Lines 3, 5, 7, and 9). From there, it is a short 5-minute walk through the park toward the bridge.
• Meeting Spot: Since the bridge is pedestrian-only and sits above the garden, groups usually meet on the grass directly underneath or right at the base of the access ramps on the Paseo de la Alameda side.
