Never thpught of that! You could try a little sample and see how it works.

Here is a short Youtube video about the rag jacket pattern that I bought:

I use a piece of transfer paper underneath the pattern and with a tracing wheel, trace the smaller size onto the fabric (wrong side), where the lines are different. If I really want to keep the pattern intact, I do the same with each size.

I just fold over the paper on the lines for the right size. I don't cut off the paper pattern.

I also do this, and if it is a curved area, I cut into the smallest line in several areas so that I can cut the pattern out with out cutting slices out of the pattern. I then iron the crisp line in to the size I need. When I need to make the larger size, I "un-fold" to the size I need and re- iron.

Good luck and happy sewing.

I trace all my clothing patterns and the like on the paper that you get at the doctors office, you can get a whole roll for under $5 and it goes a long way.

I also trace my patterns onto something else. I tape tissue paper from the dollar store together. So far this has worked for me.

I also have that pattern, but haven't done anything with it yet. I need to get some tracing paper first.

Me, too. Have reused patterns many times and made a LOT of clothes over the years when I sewed for my family. No need to trace, buy extra copies, etc. Just fold on the straight lines and adapt the curves so that those patterns are reusable. That's the purpose of using the flimsy paper--it's see-thru! Just be careful you don't cut too close to the edge of that folded over edge. That's what tape is good for, if you accidentally get too close though.
