Default Sewing Leather

I am making a bag/holder for my Featherweight case. I just bought the leather an hour ago but I am sitting in Quartzsite, Arizona melting in the heat. Do I need to try to get a leather needle or can I use something I have. I have a few odds and ends, I don't quite understand, isn't it the small number? Then I have needles from Singer 11 to 18; and Smetz 70, 80, 90; Newey Ball point 705/130R which also says 70/9. I could sew on the FW or on my Singer 348 Stylemate. The leather is just for the base so I can set it down on the ground when taking it to classes. The rest will be cotton. Thanks for your help, I have never worked with leather before.
