  • I am not familiar with a fill tube or bucket method with Paint.NET. What about finding a png background image on the web and make a layer?

An easy way to make line textures and cloth textures in Paint.NET is to draw many parallel lines and use Fragment. Draw vertical lines and fragment, then overlay horizontal lines on a separate layer and fragment those. Merge the two layers and shrink the texture.

Illustration of Process

I kept the pattern separate from the white background, then colored the lines and lowered alpha with Channel Ops plugin to get a close approximation to what you have above.
