Only real difference between regular sewing and leather/fur sewing us you'll want to use glover needles and a sailors palm, speedy stitcher, or leather thumb cover with a coin in it. These mittens are some of the easiest patterns to trace two identical halves and sew inside out. Best used with glove liners.
I haven't done it myself, but my father once made a bunch of canvas bags for christmas presents. he bought a sailmaker's palm. It seemed to go pretty well. Not sure what needles/thread he used, but if you look around for canvas/sail making instructions, there seems to be a reasonable amount of that floating around and it might contain what you're looking for.
