Here are the steps,

1. Step 1:

   First of all, select a plane and click sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   create a 2D curve and exit the sketch
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Select another plane,
   

   

4. Step 4:

   and create another 2D curve "within" the boundaries of the previous sketch.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   By doing this, you have sketched the projections of the 3D curve on two planes.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Next go to surfacing tab, click on cross button and select the first curve. (no matter about who will be first)
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Select the other one,
   

   

8. Step 8:

   and there you are. You have created a 3D curve.
