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.

Good luck and happy sewing.

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.
