Yes, I sewed the handle to the basket. (I also sewed everything else in place as well...did not use glue or hot glue). It requires a pretty sturdy needle. Also I discovered it's much, much easier sewing through the seams of the cords or at least at their edge than to try to go through several layers of cords. I looked down at one point and my hands were all bloodied! Must have been trying too hard to push the needle through. Once I figured out how to find the seams...there wasn't any additional problem.
