Satin-lined cotton caps to protect a set of Uli-uli’s, a feather-covered gourd rattle. They are used in Hawaiian dances.
Uli-uli’s come in several sizes; you need to measure before you cut. See Step One. For a set of two, you will need a minimum of 5/8 yard of two fabrics. The outer cover can be almost anything, but it should “breathe”, that is, not hold in moisture. I used 100%cotton. The lining should be a satin fabric. Feathers are easily damaged and the barbs will snag on the least loose thread.
