   I don't think you will notice the difference  when making your pattern................ but heres an experiment I used to do with students. Use a very  large square of poly cotton and try tearing narrow  strips (3cm) across and then down fabric...........  spot the difference!

   Go for it

   Some of my favorite rtw is from bordered fabric which has been cut on the crossgrain.  As long as you cut all the pieces on the same grain, it shouldn't be a problem.
