My DD has been sleeping on these for 3 years now with no issues. I was concerned the seams would be uncomfortable, but I've slept on them and you don't even notice the seams.
This is what I think I will do. Did you stitch your lining fabric to the outer layer. I think I might do a few lines each way to keep them together.

Thanks everyone for all you input. It certainly is appreciated. I'm glad to know of others that have made the pillow cases this way.
