My glue-only phase ended with a splash at a picnic

I used to skip stitching on my projects, thinking paste was plenty. Then at a friend's outdoor get-together, a sudden rain shower made my latest journal fall to bits in my hands. Now I never leave out the thread.

Ugh, been there! Use waterproof glue, totally fixes it.

But what if the glue makes the fabric stiff and weird? I tried it once and it ruined the whole jacket. Waterproof glue isn't always the fix it seems like.
