Message: I just bought a Pottery Barn outdoor sofa. The cushions are a stone color and the fabric is ring-spun water repellent polyester. I would love to dye the cushion covers (they come off) a dark color to avoid them getting stained and dirty. Is this possible?

No. Nothing that has been treated to be water-repellent or stain-resistant can be dyed. The same finish that repels water and stains will also repel dyes.

When buying anything that is water-repellent or stain-resistant, first be sure that it is already the color you want it to be, because you will not be able to change its color. The only way to change the color of your water-repellent cushions will be to sew new slipcovers to put on them.
