    I'm trying to make a backpack handle but cannot seem to make it (red arrows point to the object or shape I want to make).

    A solution I did was (did not work):

    1. Use the bezier pen (I'm not quite good at this).

    Is there any way to do this?, thanks!

    I'd break it down into major parts.

    Here's another approach.

    Trace the shape approximately using the freehand lines tool [p] with [Smoothing: 25.0] or any other value that works for you. Remove excess nodes with [Path > Simplify] or [ctrl+L]. Switch to the node tool [n] and select all the nodes. Use the toolbar to make them [auto-smooth]. Now move the nodes individually until you're happy with the new shape. If you can't match a section of the path, [double-click] to add an intermediate node for better precision.
