Word to the wise...if your going to make them, buy your supplies in bulk, it'll save you $ in the long run. I buy all my webbing no less then 5 yards at a time, clips and D rings no less then 25.
Tex if they already have a harness just trace that, and if you don't say something here as to the girth that way you should be able to get a pretty good fit. I'm sure some of us could send you a pattern. I know I have the sizes of my two and I copied Mylissa's harnesses to get a bit of variety (places with big copiers are good to, though I say I'm going to do that I've yet to).
This site has some free patterns as well.

As for books or patterns I can't help you, I have a McCalls pattern here I bought for the leash pouch and after 18 months I finally decided to sit and read the directions this week (still no leash pouch, but I did buy a zipper for it, baby steps).
I love the fact you want to harness all the fosters...my original vision was to have every dog placed with DDRTX given a harness...ok a bit much for one who works for time...but in time.
