Can Blender be used to design 2D clothing patterns? Can Blender be used to make 2D clothing patterns?

There is this tutorial on how to use the shrinkwrap modifier to clothe a figurine, but are there any tutorials on how one could use Blender to design dresses and other clothes in 3D and project these 3D designs onto a 2D surface (make 2D "slices") for creating and editing 2D clothing patterns in, say, Inkscape?
Yes. See ch. 7 "Creating a garment with Optitex and Blender: Constructing a Boudicca dress" of:
