Yeah, that's the ticket--put the shading and any other details in other layers on top of the pattern. Then the only tricky thing to making the same garment with another fabric pattern is getting the pattern to come out right.
I ought to do that, but I have a tendency to just do the thing I wanted and then think, "All right! I'm done! I can close Body Shop now!"
