Best bet is to take it to your local dry-cleaning shop, check for a sign out front that advertises alterations. Seriously.

Those men are gods of the nimble fingers, and you're far more likely to get an end result with which you are pleased than by finding one of your friends who sews a bit.
If you don't have a trusted dry cleaner/alterations place, then call Men's Warehouse or one of the other major menswear retailers and ask what their cost for alterations would be. It will be pricier, but you'll still get quality results.

That is good advice
