Take two yards of linen...

... buy a wraparound skirt and decide you like the style but not the fabric; take a pattern, wonder how to make it out of the fabric you have on hand -- and have a friend suggest that a stripey border would be interesting. Rise to the challenge ... ... and find there's just enough fabric. The stripey areas are self-faced; perhaps the solid areas should have been lined?
Here's the finished skirt, already crumpled. A button inside the waistband helps hold it on.
Beige, though ... not sure about beige ...
