I would use layer masks instead of filling a shape or selection with a pattern directly. Keeping everything as separate layers will give you the freedom to rescale/reposition different elements.


Create a house shape, and use a layer mask to knock out the middle to transparency. I used the Pen Tool to create the inside mask. (hint: Path to Selection, Add Layer Mask, from Selection)
Next place your image or a filled pattern layer on a layer below. Resize using the Scale Tool (Shift+T), and move into position with the Move Tool
Once you are happy with the positioning/rescaling. Right click the layer mask on the house image, and choose Mask to Selection, and then Select > Invert
Right click the pattern layer and choose Add Layer Mask, then choose the From selection option.
