Seriously, I have bought beautiful clothes at the thrift store which I am assuming was just given away because the hem fell out. Big rips of course may look awful mended, but the time and effort of mending an unseen tear, sewing up a split skirt split, sewing back on a button, stitching back up a fallen hem costs way less than replacing the item.
You don't need a sewing machine to do so, just a needle and thread.
If you want someone to show you how, you can watch these videos:

Great tips!! This is such a needed thing in this economy! Mend your clothing instead of buying new.
