If you have a tartan pattern already (or any other pattern for that
matter)
Type your text on a new layer over the pattern.
Then with the Text still selected (or double click on the T in the text
layer pallette)
Go to Layer - Type - create work path -
Go to the Paths pallette - select the new path and click on - load path
as a selection.
Move the selection where you wish it to be.
select the Tartan layer and press control J

In the layer pallette with the your mouse, alt+right click on the line
seperating the tartan and text layer. This should load the tartan into
the text.
