Finished this the other day, and thought I'd share. Screen printed on black cotton canvas, and also lined in black fabric.

How many swipes did you add and what kind of t-shirt paint did you use? Yellow seems thin but a good concept.

Yeah, it's a little thin but it works I think.
I use a pretty cheap method for my screen-printing; I stretch sheer fabric across an embroidery hoop, and then use Mod Podge glue painted on the fabric where I *don't* want the ink to go through.
I believe it's Speedball brand fabric ink, and I tinted it yellow with some acrylic paint. I used a generous blob, and just swiped it til it seemed saturated.

I really recommend giving thicker coats, it stands out better as it resists fading. Do you mount them onto wood frames before you paint or just use embroidery hoops to hold it in place? The store I use to work for used emulsion with silk/acryllic screens with the item glued onto a wooden frame and peeled off before sent through an oven. I recommend making your bags stand out by adding divider pockets and maybe velcrow loops on the outside so people can hang their templates off the sides of the bag. Though the bag is no longer reversible it is really handy to have 2 pockets or more for different colors of dice; I am anal retentive like that  .

I've been thinking about doing divider pockets, actually.  It'd be a great way for people to keep "lucky" sets separate from the rest, or even to isolate the bad rollers to teach them a lesson.
Right now I just use the embroidery hoop to hold the fabric in place - I took a look at how much screen printing supplies cost and basically tried to find something cheaper. I'd love to upgrade at some point, though.
