We give an extension of Lê's stochastic sewing lemma [Electron. J. Probab. 25: 1 - 55, 2020]. The stochastic sewing lemma proves convergence in $L_m$ of Riemann type sums $\sum _{[s,t] \in π} A_{s,t}$ for an adapted two-parameter stochastic process $A$, under certain conditions on the moments of $A_{s,t}$ and of conditional expectations of $A_{s,t}$ given $\mathcal {F}_s$. Our extension replaces the conditional expectation given $\mathcal F_s$ by that given $\mathcal F_v$ for $v < s$, and it allows to make use of asymptotic decorrelation properties between $A_{s,t}$ and $\mathcal {F}_v$ by including a singularity in $(s-v)$. We provide three applications for which Lê's stochastic sewing lemma seems to be insufficient.The first is to prove the convergence of Itô or Stratonovich approximations of stochastic integrals along fractional Brownian motions under low regularity assumptions. The second is to obtain new representations of local times of fractional Brownian motions via discretization. The third is to improve a regularity assumption on the diffusion coefficient of a stochastic differential equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion for pathwise uniqueness and strong existence.
