My younger daughter discovered recently that she likes embroidering. She embroidered two presents for her grateful sister and now she is excited to embroider all the things.
It would take a while to work up to any of these projects (and she would need to have a lot of time to do them!):
Portugal, circa 1845
Men's coat, probably England
Portugal, circa 1825
Wall hanging
Chinese Dragon at Mystic Seaport

These are gorgeous examples of embroidery. And the dress is amazing. Your daughter (and I happen to know her name is Elena) has picked a wonderful pursuit.
Had to chuckle about embroidering Martha Stewart!
In the Flow magazine that I splurged on with a gift card, there are instructions for embroidering socks. I have a shirt that I did in high school in the 70's that my daughters have used multiple times as a costume. I'd love for it to come back in style.
Such beautiful examples, especially the Dragon. And such patience to do this kind of work!
Beautiful handwork - my grandmother was an amazing tatter. I would love to see her hands at work.
