Here is the Tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Start SolidWorks in Part Mode.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Front Plane>>sketch. Make a spline.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Draw another spline tangent to this one.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Under sketch tab click the spline tool arrow and select fit spline.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Select the spline one by one. Check the delete geometry and uncheck the closed geometry. Keep the tolerance to a minimum.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Click OK and we can notice that two splines are merged into one.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Extrude the surface. We can notice that there is only one face.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   If we hadn't merged the splines than we have two faces.
