DIY Bride Book Error! Couture Silk Invitation Dimensions
6May2008 Filed under: DIYBride News, Khris' Corner Author: diybrideHey DIYers,
There’s a big, fat omission in the directions/illustrations for the Couture Silk Invitation in The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects For Your Ultimate One-of-a-Kind Wedding on pages 35 - 41.
It looks like the cutting diagram and info for the pocketfold are missing. If you follow the book directions, you’ll make a pocket fold that’s 6″ wide x 9 1/4″ long. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
The finished size is should be 4 1/8″ x 9 1/4.
So, once you laminate the fabric to the cardstock for the pocket fold, you’ll need to trim the laminated piece to 8 1/4″ wide, not 12″ as demonstrated in the book.
This also affects the insert sizes. Wherever the directions call for 4 1/4″ width (either cutting or MS Word settings), that needs to be changed to 4 1/8″ (4.125″).
I do most sincerely apologize for any confusion this has caused! I know how frustrating incorrect directions can be.

Just for the record, this error was *not* Khris’s fault. She had the correct dimensions in the original manuscript but it was inadvertently deleted in the design phase of the book.
