I made the top with batting. I then sewed the lining rst to top on both sides. I turned it inside out. I then made a band for the top and sewed it on the top and bottom putting the handles when I sewed this seam. I flipped the band over and sewed it from the lining side. I then sewed each side inside out. The pattern I followed did not show how to finish off the band after you sew the side seams. I think I will just do an overcast stitch on them. I do need to do a couple more to make the top look a little neater. I am just trying to think of different ways to do it. Hope that helps.
