## Abstract

A matrix for fabric includes engaging portions and decorating portions. The engaging portions are disposed over a surface area of the fabric. The decorating portions are installed at the engaging portions. The decorating portions form letters or patterns on the specific surface area of the fabric. The engaging portions may be aligned so as to form a lattice. Eyes of the lattice may be triangular, rectangular, or hexagonal. Each of the engaging portions may have a hole through the fabric. The engaging portions may include eyelets, each of which being fixed to the hole at an external perimeter of the eyelet.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A matrix for fabric, the matrix comprising:
a plurality of engaging portions disposed over a specific surface area of the fabric, wherein the plurality of engaging portions are aligned so as to form a lattice and each of the plurality of engaging portions has a hole through the fabric,
one or more decorating portions installed at one or more of the plurality of engaging portions,
wherein the plurality of engaging portions comprise eyelets, each of which being fixed to the hole at an external perimeter of the eyelet, and
wherein the one or more decorating portions form a letter or a pattern on the specific surface area of the fabric.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The matrix for fabric of claim 1, wherein each of the one or more decorating portions comprises a string, and wherein the string is queued through or tied at some of the eyelets, so as to form the letter or pattern.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The matrix for fabric of claim 2, wherein some of the eyelets have shape and color different from remaining eyelets, so as to facilitate to form the letter or pattern.

### Claim 4

A matrix for fabric, the matrix comprising:
a plurality of engaging portions disposed over a specific surface area of the fabric, wherein the plurality of engaging portions are aligned so as to form a lattice and each of the plurality of engaging portions has a hole through the fabric,
one or more decorating portions installed at one or more of the plurality of engaging portions,
wherein the plurality of engaging portions comprise eyelets, each of which being fixed to the hole at an external perimeter of the eyelet,
wherein the one or more decorating portions form a letter or a pattern on the specific surface area of the fabric and wherein eyes of the lattice are triangular, rectangular, or hexagonal.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The matrix for fabric of claim 4, wherein each of the one or more decorating portions comprises a string, and wherein the string is queued through or tied at some of the eyelets, so as to form the letter or pattern.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The matrix for fabric of claim 4, wherein some of the eyelets have shape and color different from remaining eyelets, so as to facilitate to form the letter or pattern.
