I bought my pattern at Wal-Mart and then traced all the pieces onto stockier kraft paper so that they would keep for years. It takes about half a day to do that to patterns but it keeps them longer than the frail tissue paper and I don't need to cut away larger sizes, which will be useful later, to get to the smaller sizes. If I trace each size, then I'll have them for when my kids reach the larger sizes and won't have to rebuy the pattern for each size. I don't duplicate for others, though, for copyright purposes, so I don't think it's wrong to do so.
