A lost shipment was replaced.

 No one has any idea where it is.  It could arrive one day totally out of the blue, but in the meantime the shipment has been replaced and it was used.
I opted to make pillow shams for our bed.  I have no pattern.   I just worked on it as I went along.
I cut the centre piece and then had to find the right fabric to give it the width.  The height wasn't a problem.

Then the backing.  Always one size large than the other and this time due to a brain that hadn't kicked in, I cut one piece one inch smaller than the other.  It won't matter these are decorative. 

Here you go:

the front

the back

When you make the envelope back for the shams, you lay right sides together and the shorter piece is laid down first, then the longer piece.  I love to give them a large overlap so the pillow doesn't peak through the back.  

For example if your pillow is 22", I would give it 18" top and bottom for a good overlap.  You can give it more, but I don't advise less.

and done.  I would love new large pillows to put these in, King Size would be perfect, so I'll troop down the road this week and see who has the cheapest ones.
