A commentator asked a question regarding multi-sized patterns and pattern tissue alterations. In essence, how do you preserve the original pattern?
The best way is to use a tracing wheel and waxed tracing paper to trace the original pattern onto plain paper.
The pattern piece below shows all the different lines indicating four different sizes printed on the tissue. And the rainbow colors of my tracing paper!
All those lines can get confusing pretty fast if you are new to sewing. The trick is to determine which line is your desired size. In the following photo I have determined my size line and I have started transferring the line directly to the fabric. No alterations were needed here; I just needed to transfer the curved shape. This preserves the original pattern.
The traced lines were very faint so I marked over them with a dressmaker marking pen. Much easier to see this line!
I have cut out all my pattern pieces, contrast pieces, lining, and interfacing. Since I am on a roll here, I will transfer all the pattern markings and load a bobbin, too.
Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your comments and welcome any observations or questions.
Sewing In Circles 
Are there any concerns about the fabric patterns matching up when you put the pieces together or is the fabric pattern random enough that you don’t have to take this into account?
