The invention relates to a sensor (15) which is produced by stitching it onto a carrier (16) using threads (17, 19, 33). The stitching forms a first electrode (18), a second electrode (20) and a covering layer (32). The covering layer (32) can be used to produce an electrically conductive connection between the first electrode (18) and the second electrode (20), at least if a force (F) acts on the covering layer (32) and presses at least one part of the covering layer (32) against a part of the first electrode (18) and of the second electrode (20). This force (F) can be caused by a pressure locally exerted on the covering layer (32) and/or by bending of the covering layer (32) or of the carrier (16). The entire sensor (15) and, in particular, the first electrode (18), the second electrode (20) and the covering layer (32) are produced solely by being stitched onto a common carrier (16). The sensor can be produced in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner and is robust.
