How to preserve different sizes when cutting pattern?

I've been wondering for years what the best way to do this is. Does anybody have any easy methods for preserving the other sizes—especially the larger ones—when cutting out a paper pattern? In most cases I can just eyeball it, adding a little here and there, or taping the leftover (if I've saved it, and if it's easy enough to determine which scrap of paper goes with which piece), when I make a pattern in a larger size (say, as my daughter grows), but I'd love to have a more foolproof method. Sleeves and such are a little trickier, of course. What do y'all do? Is there a trick to this?
