Probably a stupid question but I thought there would be different pieces for each size. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.
I usually just fold the pattern back and cut the fabric not the pattern. The other suggestion of buying two patterns when they are on sale is good also. If it is a pattern I'm going to use often, I'll either reinforce it with tape or make another with tissue/heavier paper. Good luck!
