1. Funny you should ask, I’ve just posted an How to tutorial on how to add a sidebar on posts and pages in Twenty Eleven

2. Bainternet’s tutorial is very good.

   Another tutorial, which worked for me (and is actually a little simpler) is here:

   http://futurewebblog.com/add-sidebar-support-posts-twenty-eleven-theme/

   And here’s what I added to my functions.php file, after studying both tutorials:

       /*
        * Fix for no sidebar in single posts
        * From http://futurewebblog.com/add-sidebar-support-posts-twenty-eleven-theme/
        */
   
       /* In child themes the functions.php is applied before the parent
        * theme's functions.php. So we need to wait for the parent theme to add 
        * it's filter before we can remove it.
        */
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_theme_setup' );
   
       /**
        * Removes the filter that adds the "singular" class to the body element
        * which centers the content and does not allow for a sidebar
        * By http://futurewebblog.com/add-sidebar-support-posts-twenty-eleven-theme/
        */
       function my_child_theme_setup() {
           remove_filter( 'body_class', 'twentyeleven_body_classes' );
       }
   

   I didn’t have to make any changes to CSS, and it worked!

   HTH.
