WPF Visual Studio Templates - extend tabitem

Question

I'm working on a wpf project in visual studio 2008. I would like to add a xmal and xaml.cs file that describe a TabItem. Templates exist for "Page", "UserControl" and others but not TabItem. How do I either make my own template or accomplish this without a template?

Thanks!
