1...pin pattern
2...cut pattern and fabric
3...mark darts, etc...onto the fabric from the pattern
4...remove the pattern ........and start joining A to B to C...etc.......
It is fine to reuse the pattern, you just won't have the extra tissue and you will cut along the edges of the pattern.
I did a lot of apparel sewing until I discovered quilting.......
