The sewing machine is optional, especially if you don't want an X-kilt or similar contemporary/casual garment. You'll probably want your good trad kilts to be hand-sewn, unless it's done by a true expert.

I'm working on my third hand-sewn kilt, and my feeling is that someone with decent bachelor sewing skills and plenty of stubbornness can do it. It is unlike almost any other tailoring, so don't be put off; but it's good to have an advisor who knows how to sew.
