Sister,
Like you I have only dyed lighter colored leather dark.
If you haven't already purchased the supplies may I suggest another way of adding brown to this sporran. Hobby/craft stores will often have rabbit pelts available for a modest fee ($5). If one could find a brown rabbit pelt you simply remove the tassles, cut the pelt to fit the front of the sporran, glue it in place, poke holes in the pelt to replace the tassles, and Bob's your uncle you have a new sporran. I suggested this before in an earlier thread and ChromeScholar used the idea to dress up a plain Stillwater Sporran.
Cheers
Jamie
