You should have plenty of folks right in your area that could assit you hands on. The Inuit and other artic people are well versed in what you are asking about. Most of their more elaborate parka's use different kinds and colors of fur sewn together to form designs. Shoot many of thier works don't even have and beading on them.

What are you trying to create? I know a bite about sewing furs and since I am married to an Inuit I have a whole family worth of info I can draw from for the things I do not know.
