I would follow Peronis suggestion. However I wet the rawhide and clamp it to the edge with paper binder clips. I also use a thin coat of Gorilla glue to help hold in on once its dry. Then I drill the holes and sew it with a similar thread he is using. The thing about using glue is if you are doing any kind of combat and bust any of the stitching the rawhide will stay in place.
