Binding pivotitem content in WP8.1 - windows-phone-8.1

Question

In my mainpage.xaml I have a pivot control:
<Pivot x:Name="Pivot"
ItemsSource="{Binding PivotItems}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource PivotItemTemplate}">
</Pivot>
which binds it's items to a PivotsItems property on my viewmodel. The pivotitems are shown correctly but i'm not able to bind the content of the pivotitem.
My datatemplate looks like:
<DataTemplate x:Key="PivotItemTemplate">
<PivotItem>
<TextBlock Text="Test"></TextBlock>
</PivotItem>
</DataTemplate>
But no content is shown in any pivotitem.
What I wan't to do is to bind the pivotitems (which works) but show a seperate filter for each pivotitem. In this example I just want to show a TextBlock in each pivotitem.
SOLVED:
I defined the itemtemplate on the pivot control in the page, while i had to add it when populating the list in the vm:
PivotItems.Add(new PivotItem { Header = item.Key, ContentTemplate = App.Current.Resources["PivotItemTemplate"] as DataTemplate });

Pivot automatically Wraps it's items into PivotItems (like you don't add ListViewItem to a ListViews ItemsTemplate). Just put your content into the DataTemplate.
<DataTemplate x:Key="PivotItemTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="Test"></TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
The header defaults to the DataContext of the PivotItem (so your list item). If you want it to display a certain property, you have to set the HeaderTemplate too:
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding MyProperty}" />
</DataTemplate>
If you just keep it as a TextBlock with no further properties, the default style gets applied perfectly.
