    It has been tried with terrible results.
    I sewed a monster - not the one Steve mentioned, but another. 10 oz Maple Leaf PV (not Marton Mills!) lined with 7 oz hemp/cotton jersey. The two layers are sewn (not ironed) together at the hem, waist, fell, and underneath the lining. I don't think I ever posted any pictures of it, so I'll upload some when I get home.

    Okay, sounds interesting. I'd like to see what you came up with. What I'm doing here is using a mesh glue (used with appliques most commonly) to completely fuse the two surfaces when the fabric is folded in half. There will be no gaps between the two halves once fused and no air pockets. I don't think I was very clear in my OP, but maybe I was. I wonder if The Wizard thought I was referring to fusible interfacing, which would certainly be a disaster.
