tailoring long sleeved shirts into shorts sleeved shirts?

this might be a total waste of $$, i don't know...

i bought a few long-sleeved t-shirts from Old Navy. i think they were around $10 each. i bought them to be used as layering tees but i am not happy with the sleeves - they are loose around the cuffs. i know, you get what you pay for

i would definitely wear them more if they were short sleeved. would it be worth it to take them to a tailor? or is there a way i can do it myself?

I would think that if you were good at sewing it wouldn't be hard.
You'd just have to cut off the sleeves and then do like a hem on them to make it neat.
But I can't thread a needle so what the heck do I know?
