Abstract:
One variation of a method for fabricating a garment includes: applying a first mask to a first side of a fabric substrate coated with a conductive material; applying a second mask—mirrored image of the first mask—to a second side of the fabric substrate opposite the first side; applying an etchant to the fabric substrate to remove conductive material outside of the first mask; arranging a conductive interface pad of a component carrier over an electrode defined by remaining conductive material on the fabric substrate, the component carrier including a flexible substrate and a rigid electrical component mounted to the flexible substrate, the conductive interface pad extending from a terminal of the rigid electrical component across a region of the flexible substrate; mechanically fastening the component carrier to the fabric substrate to form a garment insert including an electrical circuit; and incorporating the garment insert into the garment.

Claim (Index 30):
A method of manufacture comprising:\n providing a conductive textile, the conductive textile having a first side and a second side; covering at least a first portion of the first side of the conductive textile with a masking material, leaving at least a second portion of the first side of the conductive textile uncovered by the masking material; covering at least a first portion of the second side of the conductive textile with a masking material, leaving at least a second portion of the second side of the conductive textile uncovered with the masking material, wherein the first portion of the first side is opposite the first portion of the second side; and applying a chemical to the first side of the conductive textile, wherein the chemical acts to remove a metallized material from the second portion of the first side of the conductive textile.
