There are classes available - head for the nearest Lincraft or Spotlight and have a look at the bulletin board. Might also be some at your local library. Hemming is a basic skill and very worth learning, as is sewing buttons back on properly. Tool libraries have sewing machines you can borrow too.

That's a great suggestion, thank you! My relative who sews has offered to teach me so I'll see how I go before I go to a class!
