How do I convert these simple 3 sketches into a sheet metal part?

I have these 3 sketches that are joined together at the edges but non-planar. I just want to create a sheet metal part that is exactly these planes but I cannot seem to do it, both the extrude, thicken and convert features do not recognize that these 3 sketches are connected and it makes 3 seperate parts out of them. Please help me how to do this, thanks!

    Turn them into surfaces using Offset surface with a zero offset. Boolean them together and then use sheet metal with Thicken.
