Another way to finish the two arms that become the handles would be to
not cut out the "D", but put two loops of fabric (1-2" or 25-50mm each)
on the ends of the arms. On one arm, put the fabric loops at the
corners. On the other arm, put the loops in from the edge--how far in
depends on how wide your loops are. Then you can use a single piece of
wood/dowel, thread it through one loop from the arm that has its loops
at the edge, then both loops from the other arm, then the last loop on
the first arm. You can grasp the wood between the loops of arm 2.

This probably won't work, since so few people use fixed-pitch fonts for
email any more, but shows the two arms with their loops on the ends. I
left off the two arms that just fold over the pillow.
Now I have a question about this design. Do the two flaps that fold
over the pillow truly keep it from sliding out the end of this
carrier? I'd worry about that.
just curious,
