Maybe..I'm not sure what an envelope pillow cover is. But yes, they overlap by that 3" difference in the backing fabric in the middle of the cover.
So I stitched a seam on one short side of each of them <just to have a finished seam>, then put one right side to right side of backing fabric lining up the raw ends, then placed the 2nd piece the same way on the opposite end, then sewed around the 4 outside edges.
Hope this helps...first time I've ever tried to give directions *cringe*
