- 1). Unfold the cloth and lay it out onto a solid surface like a counter top or table.
- 2). Measure a 48 1/2 inch-by-48 1/2 inch square onto the cloth with the measuring tape and mark it with the chalk.
- 3). Cut the shemagh out along the chalk lines with the scissors.
- 4). Fold up 1/4 of an inch along all four edges of the shemagh using the tape measure and securing the fold with the straight pins. Once all four sides are done, go back around and tuck the raw edge under, re-pinning as you go, so that the edge is finished and won't unravel.
- 5). Sew the hem into place with the sewing machine, removing the straight pins as you go.
- 6). Sew one or two tassels on one or more corners of the shemagh with the needle and thread. This step is optional, depending on the look you want for your shemagh.
