or would it just not even work and would be a waste of time.

Of course they will last. The sewing machine wasn't invented until the 1800's. People wore clothes and worked hard in them, and they stayed together.
Just use lots of small backstitches. Couture dressmakers and tailors still do it. http://www.ehow.com/how_5574_basic-hand-stitching.html

It will last but not any longer than machine sewn, assuming it is well done. Isn't your time worth something? If you like sewing by hand why don't you make a quilt. The hand sewn ones are a piece of art.

I second what Kacky said. They will last. And, hey, if you enjoy hand sewing it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
