What are good choices for inexpensive sewing & hemming?

I would like to hem my own clothes. Last time I used my local tailor it was expensive (I think $15). Which is OK once, I like to give my local businesses support. But I have at least five pairs of pants in need of shortening, and $75 is more than I want to spend.
What are good choices for a beginner to do simple, functional sewing? I do not have dreams of becoming a fabric artist, I simply want to mend things.
I see good options for using my $75:
—Learn hand sewing
—Old-timey black sewing machines on Craigslist $40 – $75 US
—Modern beginner machines on Craigslist $50 and up
—Battery-powered mending machines at Joann Fabrics $15 – $20
Opinions?
