You can get all the hides from skinning beasts around the Nesingwary expedition. [item=129900] from bears up the mountain, [item=129901] is from stags near the river, [item=129903] from sabers near the expedition.
The reward is Deadeye Monocle, you can't transmog it but you can send it to your bank alt.
Here is my main Skinning post: [spell=201707].
You can find more info about the profession there.

From "Bear Huntin'": "They say a single hair from the back of a bristlefur bear is sharp enough to cut a dwarf's beard. But if the fur doesn't kill you, the maul will." "These pelts are even sharper than I imagined."
From "Highmountain Hides": <Hemet buries his nose deep into the bear hide.>
...Goodbye, Nesingwary. It was nice knowing you.

It seems you simply have to skin stuff and follow the quests it gives when it gives them because Mother's Skinning Knife and the Deadeye Monocle quests are not available when you visit the npc's right away without doing any of the previous quests.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Scrap of PantsLevel 10-45
The mouth of this particular beast contained a piece of handsewn cloth. The fabric bears the word "singwa". While the term "singwa" is unfamiliar, it DOES happen to be the middle of the last name of a fairly notable Azerothian skinner.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Freedom to RoamLevel 10-45
I remember bein' young, <name>. D'ye remember it? So much less responsibility... I could just run around as I pleased. Now, I'm pretty much stuck with my hunting crew, here in Highmountain. There're so many interestin' creatures in the other regions o'the Broken Isles, though.

The storyline at a glance

Legion Skinning has 10 steps, from Stonehide Leather Sample to Ske'rit's Leather Handbook.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Darkshore (3), Dalaran (2), Suramar (2), Highmountain (1).
