Vellum paper is the best paper to be used when copying patterns for sewing as you can see through the paper. But you will want to remember to get a size big enough to fit over the entire piece of fabric.

I prefer to use onion paper. Its kind of like wax paper but without the wax. Its just translucent enough to let you see the pattern easily.

Dressmaker's tissue is perfect for creating sewing patterns. It is lightweight, easy to mark and folds up nicely for storage. Larger fabric shops carry dressmaker's tissue. You can also order it online.

Many people that I know that create their own sewing patterns swear by using either butcher paper or parchment paper, as it is thin, lightweight, and you can generally see through it.
