Fashion Design classes for home dressmakers who would like to design their own clothes rather than using bought patterns. Essentially you would be learning how to draft patterns to fit your own personal measurements, so you could make garments from your own design, starting with basics and getting more complex as you progress. I'm City and Guilds qualified and I used to design wedding dresses and ‘posh frocks’ for special occasions in England. Here is a photo of my daughter's wedding dress which I made last year. Please contact debbie@sophisticattzz.com to book a space.

Art Classes with Di, an outstanding Artist at Greenfields, El Pinar de Campoverde. Friday mornings, 11.30 - 1.30pm please book with Debbie beforehand if you would like to join the group. Di is an outstanding Artist and has created a class of students that are trying very hard to follow in her footsteps with masters of Art. The group consists of a range of Artists men and women, some using oils and watercolours, others just pencil, what is unique about this group is the supportive atmosphere and the interest in each other's skills and abilities. Di is a calm, supportive and encouraging tutor and we all value her opinion and thoroughly enjoy our challenges we have set ourselves, Di has created a class that is a pleasure to be a part of I certainly will continue to take her professional advice and continue to put pencil to paper for as long as I can. Look out soon for some photos of the students work on our gallery!

The Spanish Tax Office is now concentrating on all non-residents and their tax declarations. Everyone who is non-resident and owns a property here in Spain is obligated to declare non-resident Tax. Those who have not been completing this tax will be receiving a letter from the Tax Office for them to regulate their situation. You have a limited amount of time to reply to this notification so as soon as you receive it you must act immediately because the longer you leave it the more it will cost you. There has also been a rise in inspections on properties that are being rented out by non-residents who are not declaring that income. The electric and water companies are now obligated to inform the Tax Office of the usage for every property so when they see that the house is being used all year round it could provoke an inspection. The same applies here, you will receive a letter from the Tax Office and when you do you must act immediately to resolve the matter. Either contact your tax advisor/solicitor or the ASESORIA GIRONA here in Pinar de Campoverde on 96 676 6482 or by emailing Kelly@asesoriagirona.es
