I made my first Tobin from micro rib scuba, view B with a straight hem. Size 18 G/H cup. It was cut out and sewn up in an afternoon! As Cashmerette patterns usually fit me pretty perfectly first time I didn’t do a toile. On my next Tobin - as there will be more - I will lower the bust dart 1” and straighten the lower sides at the hip area but that’s all. I think the Tobin would also make a great sweater dress for a casual comfy look.

I struggle to get tops to fit my bust.
This pattern was so easy. Take measurements, (be honest with oneself).
Look at table and cup size. Take the plunge.
I made size 24 with G cup. View B with several hacks. Only had 1.5 m of French jersey fabric. It was close but as you can see from photo it all came together. Used my overlocker and Coverpro. Making more tomorrow.

I made three tops and love them. The pattern was very easy and went together fairly quickly. I made the size 12 and did take in some on the sides. I love the longer cuffs. My only problem was when I printed it I unclicked my size so it printed out blank but with some writing on the pieces but no size line! Took me awhile to realize I didn’t print the size. This is a very important step!!!

I purchased the Tobin pattern in the Thanksgiving sale and have made it five times so far. My toile was a black poly from Joann Fabrics with the cowl neck. I always get compliments when I wear it styled with a big necklace and long cardigan, even though I’m not in love with the fabric. But I used a luscious French terry for four versions of the “sweatshirt” and it’s my uniform these days. Warm, comfortable and so flattering. I purchased Jenny’s “sewing for curves” which helped me figure out a small forward shoulder adjustment and how to lower my dart. Now it’s a perfect TNT pattern!

Great pattern! I’ve sewn 3 of these beauties. I did a FBA and found the pattern easy to work with. As with all the Cashmerette patterns I’ve sewn: I feel a boost to my confidence, the moment I slip into one of my garments.

Made a second Tobin, this one with cowl neck, cuffs and high low hem. This pattern is magic. So many options and beautiful fit.

This pattern fits so well in the shoulders, neckline and chest. No gaping at the back neck, and it has bust darts to shape the bodice area. Lots of styling options; I made the faced neck with high- low hem and added 5” side splits. Dropped the dart one inch and added two inches to body length as I am almost six feet tall.
This fabric is a very soft Hacchi sweater knit from Fabric. Com made of polyester, rayon and spandex. The lovely fabric and beautifully drafted pattern result in another Cashmerette winner!

As a woman of a certain age experiencing my own personal summer but also living in the great white North where even a person such as myself notices that it is cold, the Tobin is cozy and comfy without making me uncomfortably warm. I made the Tobin several years ago out of a charcoal and black leopard print french terry. I used the Cowl neck. What I love about this Cashmerette pattern is that it still fits and looks flattering despite drastic changes in my shape. It fits me well from my shoulders - a part of me that apparently is close enough to my actual skeleton that they don't change much when the rest of me does. I now have a Tobin Sweater which is looser and longer than it was when I first made it, but it still looks great on me. The cowl neck gives me enough venting to keep me comfortable during the conflict between my body's heat and Michigan's freeze.

I sewed the cowl neck version and i'm enjoying it. Very cozy and the longer back covers well! I had to significantly adjust the sleeves since I have large arms, right below my biceps and lower the bust darts. Will make more next fall!

I really like the Tobin. I found an athleisure cable knit sweater fabric that sews up beautifully with the cowl neck. Got a compliment the first time I wore it. My only issue is I have to do an SBA. That does not take away from my 5 star review however. I followed the SBA directions available right on the website. I understand Cashmerette is mainly designed for the curvy chested woman. My curves are on the backside so I plan to purchase the Ames jeans pattern soon that has a pear shape option.

Super easy make. Directions were great. I stumbled a bit on sewing down the "wing" on the cowl (I sewed too far), but I think that's because I shortened the height of the cowl (I have a short neck). I also over-altered the pattern a bit so it's a little too short and wide, but it fits great in the shoulders. I'm anxious for a re-do and can't wait to make another one! I love the style of the Tobin and have been admiring it for months.

Bicep needed adjustment, but the fit was good with my regular adjustments. I got many compliments when I wore it.

I made view B using a sweatshirt material. I shortened by 2" (I'm 5'2") and made no further adjustments. Very pleased with this pattern - super cozy with leggings. I will use this pattern again and will happily try other Cashmerette patterns.

No FBA! Yay! A few adjustments in the shoulder (shoulder angle, narrow shoulder, and forward shoulder) and I'm ready to cut fabric and sew. So comfortable and lots of complements. I have made two of the cowl-necked version and plan to lengthen this version into a dress and wear with boots.

I use this pattern as my block for all my knit tops. It requires no real adjustments except my usual gaping neck, rounded back, and swayback adjustments. It is not necessary to make a full bust adjustment because of the cup size range. I love the versatility of this pattern, the neckline/collar options, colorblocking. The longer hemline in back is very flattering. It’s easy to sew. I can’t say enough good things about this pattern, or about Cashmerette.

Love it

It fit perfectly. I loved it so much, I made one for my cousin. She requested the exact color. Only the buttons were different.

This is such a great pattern. I made the high-low version. Next time I make it I will lengthen the front a little. I'm only 5 ft 3 and I found it just a bit short in the front. I love the big cowl. The fabric I used was quite a firm knit and the cowl has such a lot of structure. Great shape. I 💘 everything about it!

Although I love ALL the Cashmerette patterns I have, this may be my favorite. There are so many ways to use this pattern. Color-blocked, collar variations, length and hemlines. I pretty much use this as my block for tops. I love the options. I use it to make short sleeved tops as well. Cashmerette patterns always fit me so well, and to get a perfect fit with so many options makes it the perfect pattern for me. Thanks, Cashmerette!

This is my favourite pattern ever. Absolutely brilliant - I basically live in my half-dozen versions (all high collar versions), on rotation. So flattering, so cosy, so quick and easy to sew up. Some are smart enough for work, some are perfect for being at home. Made four in melange, two in rib knit. Had to do my usual adjustment (lower bust apex by 1.5”), but other than that it’s perfect for me. I wish Cashmerette did more patterns with higher necklines as they suit me better, but with this one they’ve cracked it! Thank you :)

Found the directions easy to follow and straightforward. After cutting the fabric, the pieces went together easily. It is well suited to a variety of fabrics. I made it out of wool blend as well as French Terry sweatshirt fabrics and looks great every time I wear it.

This went together so smoothly. I will adjust some things for next time ( a bit more length in the body and sleeves as I like a longer length, but the pattern isn’t too short. I opted to make the fold over collar and while I like it, I used a thick fleece and feel like it holds my head up. My “issues” are all based upon choices I made, not on anything in the pattern. I am sure that before the winter is over I will have two or even three new versions of the Tobin! Why it took me so long to print and assemble the pattern is the big mystery as once I got over that hurdle, it was smooth sailing!

I have made about 6 of these, in various configurations and various fabrics, and they are all wonderfully comfortable! My new go-to pattern for the colder months.

This time I've made the sweatshirt version in two different fabrics, both remnants.
The neckline is a lovely curved sideways oval and is much more comfortable than a full boatneck. It frames your face and the shape is emphasised with topstitching. Just gorgeous.
I wore this top for work this morning and got lots of compliments. This is a super pattern and the instructions for each version are good.

Pattern was easy and I intend to make more.

I love cashmerette patterns as I don’t have to do busy adjustments and the patterns always seem to fit so well. I love the shape of the neck in the folded neck version I made. I love how the pattern pieces were made so you colour block without having to cut the pattern pieces too!
