. I leave my original patterns whole and trace off the size I need onto fairly fine tracing paper. I use different colour markers to transfer all the details, including the pattern name, size, and even machine settings for difficult fabrics. Once Ive use the tracing paper pattern to cut the fabric, I fold the pieces and store in a freezer bag marked with the pattern details. The original pattern is stored in a expanding file folder. Once the tissue pattern gets too worn, I can simply trace off a new one.

Been doing this for 30 years. Works great especially when you need to make several sizes of the same pattern. I also will trace them out on tissue paper so I have the original pattern in tack.
