Pickford Stripe is a lovely Italian milled stretch linen/cotton blend.  Please note, there is no crossgrain stretch, and 30% lengthwise stretch, so the manufacturer intended this fabric to be cut across the grain to utilize the stretch.  This will orient the stripes as vertical, rather than horizontal.  If you are not used to calculating yardage for cutting across the grain, simply lay your pattern pieces down side-by-side in a row, then measure from left to right at the widest part.  You most likely will need less fabric than your pattern calls for.
