      abstract = {In this paper we report an approach to fully integrate micro fabricated sensors into textiles.We first developed platinum resistance temperature sensors  RTDs) on 500 um wide, 67.5 mm-long plastic stripes. After completing the sensor fabrication, we used a dicing saw to separate individual sensors by cutting the plastic foil into stripes, each containing an individual sensor and connecting lines. The resistance of the RTDs was 665 Ohm +/- 10 Ohms at room temperature. The temperature coefficient of the RTDs is 0.00223 1/K with a the sensitivity of 1.52 Ohm/°C at a drive current of 500 uA. Cutting the substrate did not affect the sensor functionality. We then tested the influence of strain on the stripe RTDs signal using a pulling tester to apply tensile strain. Longitudinal strain resulted in metal line break after 2 N applied force (at an elongation of 5 \%) and in breaking of the Kapton stripe at 8 N applied force. Single sensor stripes spaced 10 mm apart were integrated into a textile band using a commercial band weaving machine.}
