Finishing my Hooked chair pad

I have finished my rug hooked chair pad. I wasn't sure how I wanted to finish the edges, but I did decide it isn't an heirloom, so done and used was better than right. I had steamed and pressed the edges around to the back.

I found a pair of black wool pants that had a section big enough for the back. I considered a cheaper fabric, but black wool pants are so easy to find at thrift stores, and I cut the pad shape.

Just smoothing it made it move all over the place, so I glued it around the edges.

I laid wool yarn along the edges and sewed from back to front, making a beaded look that I liked. If the linen still showed, I loosened the yarn.

I found an old child's school chair ( at Goodwill). Now to find another spot in my house for this little treasure.
