"Good, so now we're going to talk about the top. This part right here that's almost on seam, this whole bag you should be able to make even if you don't have a sewing machine. If you want to do it by hand it's not that much sewing so it shouldn't be that hard to do if you don't have a machine. But this top part is just; a easy way to do it is just trace a circle on your drum. Doesn't have to so exact because it's not sewn it's only attached on the inside of the bag but it's like a flap. So we're just going to draw this circle, trace your drum. Very easy here. If you want to make it double, extra quilting just cut out two circles and you can sew them together or just tack them together. If you don't have a machine you'll probably opt for as little sewing as possible. If you want to fill them, if you want it to be super padded, if you're going to be traveling you can put, we have like a really yucky yoga mat we cut up put inside, foam rubber, cotton, you can, you can stuff anything in between here and make a little sandwich. You're also going to do this just is simply with your bottom, the bottom piece that's going to be the base of your bag. That's a little more important, the size but leave yourself a little extra for a seam."
