This paper introduces piezoelectric pressure sensors based on fabrics woven using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarns with different weave structures: 1/1 (plain), 2/2, and 3/3 weft rib patterns. A sensor with a 2/2 weft rib pattern showed a sensitivity of 83 mV N⁻¹, 245% higher than the 1/1 pattern. The sensor's performance was evaluated under various conditions, including pressing, bending, twisting, crumpling, and various human motions. A large-area pressure sensor array also demonstrated sensitive and stable sensing.
