Does your bolster look like this?
If so,
Measure your sham’s width while flat.
Use the chart below to find the correct bolster diameter (widths are approximate):
9.4" wide = 6" diameter bolster insert
12.5" wide = 8" diameter bolster insert
14.25" wide = 9" diameter bolster insert
15.75" wide = 10" diameter bolster insert
Once you know the diameter, measure the sham’s total length, then subtract the diameter.
Example: 40" sham − 8" diameter = 32" insert length.
Your insert size would be 8" × 32".
Does your bolster look like this?

1. Measure your sham’s width while flat.
2. Use the chart below to find the correct bolster diameter (widths are approximate):
9.4" wide = 6" diameter bolster insert
12.5" wide = 8" diameter bolster insert
14.25" wide = 9" diameter bolster insert

Once you know the diameter, measure the sham’s total length, then subtract the diameter.
Example: Sham is 60" long with an 8" diameter → 60 − 8 = 52".
Decide how much ruffle you want after the tie (3"–4" is common).
If you choose 3", subtract 3" from each side: 52 − 3 − 3 = 46".
Your insert size would be 8" × 46".
