Yes, GIMP is already shipped with a Stripes pattern and
a Fine Stripes pattern.
In the Bucket fill tool choose Fill type=Pattern fill, press the
pattern icon and select the desired pattern from the list or grid.

To get additional patterns you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the gimp-data-extras Git repository [1],
2. download and extract the ZIP archive GIMP_DATA_EXTRAS_2_0_2.zip,
3. copy the contents of the folder 'patterns' to your own patterns folder
(see Edit/Preferences/Folders/Patterns to find out that location).
4. Finally either open the Patterns dockable dialog and
press the Refresh button or restart GIMP.

This archive also contains some brushes.

The same procedure is for Mac OS X users.
Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Mageia Linux users get get these resources by
installing the package gimp-data-extras.

Kind regards,

Sven
