Now that I'm happy with the fit of the toile, I take it apart and use it to cut out a new pattern and transfer all the markings to the new pattern. I'm using Pellon Easy Pattern for the new pattern, but dotted pattern paper would also work well. I'm also using the original pattern as reference to make sure all markings are transferred, and to double-check that I have the sizing right before I start cutting my fabric.
A major difference with this construction method is that the pattern does not have seam allowances - the side edges of the pattern are the actual seam lines. I'll need to add seam allowances when I do the final cut of each piece.
