Flat Sketching

Autumn had told me that for our next meeting, I need to convert my sketches into flat sketches. She described this as sketches of clothes laid flat on the ground, with no model, and all the seams showing. Alright, I thought, simple enough. But then I became concerned that my sketches wouldn't be detailed enough. So I decided to do a quick search on google, and this is what I found...

Imagining things flat is sort of hard, especially when you're trying to imagine them on a person to make sure that they'll be beautiful. I might do three views like the image above in the end...
