Go to 'Layout' and switch tab to 'Edit HTML'.
Give mark to 'Expand Widget Templates'.
Make a backup of your default template first, so if you can't do what i say below, you can revert it back to your default template.
Now grab these code below, just before the closing of
]]></b:skin> tag.

Now, grabe these code below here to just after <b:skin><![CDATA[ tag at the new line.

If you have grabbed the code above, you need to find opening DIV tag on your sidebar, usually it is written like the code below:
<div id='sidebar-wrapper'>
If you can't find it, maybe your blog has code below:
<div id='left-column'>
or
<div id='right-column'>
or
<div id='sidebar'>
If you find one of them, put the code below here just after those red coloured code in the new line.
If you can't find one of them, just find similar code that points to your sidebar of your Blog.
<div class='domtab'>
<ul class='domtabs'>
<li><a href='#recentposts'>Recent Posts</a></li>
<li><a href='#categories'>Categories</a></li>
<li><a href='#archives'>Archives</a></li>
<li><a href='#recentcomments'>Recent Comments</a></li>
</ul>
<div style='border: 3px solid $domtabBorderColor;'>
<p><a id='recentposts' name='recentposts'> </a>
<b:section class='sidebar-tab' id='sidebar-tabs-1' preferred='yes'/></p>
</div>
<div id='toggleText' style='display: none; border: 1px solid $domtabBorderColor;'>
<p><a id='categories' name='categories'> </a><b:section class='sidebar-tab' id='sidebar-tabs-2' preferred='yes'/></p>
</div>
<div id='toggleText' style='display: none; border: 1px solid $domtabBorderColor;'>
<p><a id='what' name='archives'/>
<a id='archives' name='archives'> </a><b:section class='sidebar-tab' id='sidebar-tabs-3' preferred='yes'/></p>
</div>
<div id='toggleText' style='display: none; border: 1px solid $domtabBorderColor;'>
<p><a id='recentcomments' name='recentcomments'/>
<a id='recentcomments' name='recentcomments'> </a><b:section class='sidebar-tab' id='sidebar-tabs-4' preferred='yes'/></p>
</div>
</div>
Now you need to save the template, and switch the tab to Page Elements, there you go!
Drag and drop widgets you wish onto the tab. Click on the tab title to switch it to the other side and drag and drop again widgets on it.
NOTE: I am not the creator of those codes, originally it was made by Amanda from Bloggerbuster, i just modificated some parts of those codes so people can use it easier and also i have changed some parts of them, so the tab colour and font can be changed as you wish from Fonts and Colors adjuster from Blogger.
